...Vegas, Greenhouse at Eniwetok, Buster-Jangle and Tumbler-Snapper. With Ivy in November 1952, the first hydrogen bomb was exploded, wiping out the tiny island of Elugelab, and digging a crater a mile long and 175 ft. deep in the ocean's floor, near Eniwetok. During Castle, near Bikini in the spring of 1954, miscalculations on power and meteorology caused radioactive ash to fall and injure 23 Japanese tuna fishermen-one fatally-on their trawler, Lucky Dragon, which was 14 miles outside the restricted zone. Ogle was a top technical official at Ivy and Castle, ironically considers Castle...
...Nevada. He assisted in hydrodynamic experiments for the wartime Manhattan Project, which produced the first Abomb, celebrated the war's end by firing a shotgun into the air on Los Alamos' main street. After the war, he helped measure bomb yields at the Crossroads tests at Bikini in 1946, and at the Sandstone tests at Eniwetok atoll in 1948, directed technical operations during the Ranger series on Nevada's Frenchman Flat in 1951. He was in technical command of the world's first thermonuclear explosions, set off over a small island near Eniwetok...
...previous U.S. test series. But J.T.F. 8 will have had just four months to get ready for April's blasts. What is more, the task force had to begin virtually from scratch. President Kennedy long ago gave up any idea of testing from the familiar sites at Bikini and Eniwetok because of their small size, the proximity of populated islands and the inhibiting fact that the U.S. administers both atolls by U.N. mandate -a point that roused international ire during past tests...
While a faint chance remained that some turn in the diplomatic situation would justify postponement, the test planning went forward. One sticky problem was to find a location that was politically and physically safe for a new series of blasts: Eniwetok and Bikini, the Pacific sites of former tests, are too small and too close to inhabited islands. Last week the British solved the problem by giving the U.S. permission to fire off a nuclear series on Christmas Island, a sand-covered coral atoll isolated in the central Pacific...
...emphasize the sexy look, Jacques Esterel showed-for low-slung pants-a tasseled gold button that glints, eyelike, in the navel. Madame Grès won top engineering honors for a bareback bikini that anybody can make at home with three or four pot holders and a long, thin necktie. For evening wear, Grès grew more conservative: one closely draped jersey dress covered the midriff completely, except for two good-sized diamond-shaped picture windows just south of the rib cage. Jules Crahay of Nina Ricci finally closed the neckline of one dress at the navel. Michel Goma...
