Primordial Face. Cuss I has already drilled sample wells off California in water 1,500 ft. deep. Drilling in three miles of water would be harder, but Geologist Bascom thinks it can be done. So do the Russians, who claim to have drilling equipment just as good, and are apparently trying to beat AMSOC to the Moho...
...years ago a California radar technician died after exposure to high-powered microwaves. Why? The examining doctor's explanation was that the microwaves caused "intolerable" heating of the man's tissues. Biologist John H. Heller doubted this explanation, suspected that the microwaves had somehow fatally altered the body's cells. To find out, he began experimenting with lower-powered radio waves at the New England Institute for Medical Research in Ridgefield, Conn. Last week in Britain's Nature, he and Dr. A. A. Teixeira-Pinto reported that their experiments had provided "a new physical method...
...brindled gnu. What few trumpeters know is that while tootling they approximate the effects of "a formidable Valsalva maneuver," i.e., a hard nose-blow with nostrils and mouth blocked. To find out just how formidable the effects are, London's Dr. E. P. Sharpey-Schafer and California Musician Maurice Faulkner last summer sat down in London. Faulkner huffed his way through several trumpet passages, including a phrase from Wolfram's Song to the Evening Star in Act III of Tannhäuser. In reporting their findings in the British Medical Journal, the researchers noted that...
...ancient seat of learning has seen far too much to be startled by the carryings-on of its scholars. Just the same, a 22-year-old Rhodes scholar from California's Pomona College has aroused a certain mild wonder at Oxford University's Merton College. Blond Kristoffer Kristofferson is a modest, husky (5 ft. 11 in., 165 lbs.) youth, and had he stuck quietly to his study of English literature, chances are that few of his Oxford friends would have discovered what an uncommon sort was swallowing their...
...Ford grants, for the most part, will allow expansion of topflight teacher-training programs already under way.
