...concept of independence, which seems to burn so brightly in the world's developing countries, reaches the point of distortion in many ways. Last week the United Nations special committee on decolonization accepted by a 13-10 vote a report dealing with the recent Cairo Conference of Nonaligned Countries, which included the likes of Cuba...
Prices vary, ranging from about $25 for a plain colonial or modern lamp to about $500 for a refurbished antique. The lamps burn night and day, but even so, the total cost is a modest $1 to $4 a month...
...large Lincoln Memorial across the Potomac. The graves, including those of his two dead infants, are marked by flat slate stones set in a grassy plot bordered by a low plinth, where the eternal flame, cupped in a modern version of a classic oil lamp, will continue to burn. Behind it, but subordinate to the classic-revival facade of the historic Custis-Lee Mansion atop the slope, is a low, short wall, flanked by flowering magnolias, which will bear the presidential seal and short quotations from Kennedy's speeches. How much the memorial will cost is not clear...
...hydrides, but in the absence of an oxidizer, they remain as inert as an auto tire. The oxidizer may be a fiercely reactive fluid such as OF2 (oxygen difluoride), but since it stays in its own tank until needed, it behaves itself. When the two components come together, they burn with extremely high specific impulse, the measure of rocket power. Best of all, say their boosters, hybrids are free of the complicated plumbing demanded by the liquids, and their inert fuel cannot cause an explosion. A solid-fuel rocket, on the other hand, has a "grain" (propellant mixture) that burns...
Beautiful Flame. With so many advantages, what can be wrong with hybrids? A great deal, say their critics. Worst of all is low-combustion efficiency; the fuel and oxidizer tend to escape through the exhaust nozzle before they have reacted. They burn as a long, beautiful flame, which wastes much of its energy on empty air. When the hybrid is throttled down by partially closing the oxidizer valve, its efficiency gets worse, sometimes falling...
