...weeks before the fire, her new owner, Canadian Jules Sokoloff, put the Castle in a Tampa drydock, spent $278,000 on repairs to her keel, promenade deck and railings, replaced a propeller and some machinery. The Coast Guard examined her in drydock, three weeks later held a dockside fire and lifeboat drill. About all that could be said for the ship was said by Captain Vitus G. Niebergall, Coast Guard safety inspector: "International convention allows one half-hour to get lifeboats into the water. This boat got its lifeboats into the water in eight minutes." When she caught fire...
...laboratory that provided the date of 720 million years for the fossils our party found in the Canadian Arctic last summer [Nov. 12] now reports that on rechecking it has found a computational error and that the minimum age of the fossils is 445 million years. But the structural geologic relations indicate that this age is impossibly young: the fossils are almost surely preCambrian. Other tests by different methods are being undertaken. I hope they will resolve the uncertainty about the dates...
Squiggly Lines. The first hint that the Northeast's huge CANUSE (for Canadian-U.S. Eastern interconnection) power grid was in trouble came at 5:16 p.m. Moving clockwise, millions of kilowatts of electricity were coursing through the vast network of cables to meet the early-evening needs of the Western Hemisphere's most heavily populated, most power-dependent region. In the humming central control room of the Ontario Hydro-Electric Commission, ink pens tracing the flow of power suddenly shuddered. At the Rochester Gas & Electric Corp. on the other side of Lake Ontario, the dials on a wall lurched...
Anthony Barringer, a Canadian geophysicist, is unbothered by Soviet se crecy. At a symposium on remote sensing in Huntsville, Ala., last week, he theorized that Luna 7's radar may have failed to "see" a top porous layer of the moon's crust. As a result, the space ship crashed on its way to a landing on the hard lunar rock below...
Conway, a Canadian citizen, came to Harvard in 1949 to study for his doctorate in history of the British Commonwealth. He became an instructor in 1951 and in 1952 was named the University's first Allston Burr senior tutor, serving at Eliot House...
