Thanks for the excellent eye-opening report. Just in 1949 (with a B.S. in physics and math), I found in many a fair-sized concern that the director of research was either nonexistent or at the very bottom of the administrative list. With sales managers near or at the top of the list, I went into sales. W. ROBERT MELZER Pittsburgh...
Even on life rafts, castaways were not wholly safe. Sharks sometimes bumped against the raft's frail bottom, knocking the occupants three or four inches into the air. Wrote one survivor: "Late in the afternoon, a shark about four feet long struck at the raft and, going right over my shoulder, slid into the raft. It took a bite out of C. One of the men and myself caught the shark by the tail and pulled him out of the raft. C. became delirious and died about four hours later...
Into Foggy Bottom one day last week tramped stormy-faced Soviet Ambassador Georgy N. Zarubin for an interview with Secretary of State Dulles. It was obvious, as Zarubin cooled his heels in the State Department's fifth-floor reception room, that something was on his mind beside the new Kremlin policy of smiles. Ushered into Dulles' office, he protested angrily that four times in early July and four times last April U.S. planes based in West Germany had "deliberately" penetrated the air space over Baltic Russia-"some for more than 2½ hours" and by as much...
...would be wrong," declared the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the U.S.S.R. last week, "to close one's eyes to the fact that certain of our friends abroad have not got to the bottom of the question of the personality cult." When it comes to getting to the bottom of something, nobody can beat the Kremlin's leaders. Down they went in their hip boots, sloshing around in a swamp of doubletalk, and throwing little bits of misinformation behind them, like cracker crumbs, for those who tried to follow them. But they were not very helpful...
Ewing and Donn believe that such cycles have already happened several times. They support their theory by citing cores of ocean-bottom mud that indicate warming of the Atlantic surface water about 11,000 years ago. This, they think, was when the last ice age lowered sea level so much that the Arctic Ocean, cut off from the Atlantic, froze over. The glaciers, then at maximum, began to retreat...
