Although an onslaught of astronaut sniffles and sore throats at Cape Kennedy last week delayed the orbital flight of Apollo 9, an unmanned spacecraft named Mariner 6 was successfully launched from a nearby pad. Its ambitious mission: to search for evidence that life can exist on Mars...
Tedious Trip. Spurred on by that hemmed-in feeling, Feinberg brazenly began questioning the inviolable Einsteinian speed limit more than a dec ade ago. But no matter how he analyzed the set of mathematical equations that define relativity, he could not es cape the conclusion that matter cannot be accelerated to the speed of light, to say nothing of higher velocities. The equations showed that at the velocity of light, the mass and energy of any ordinary particle would become infinite -a clearly impossible situation. Beyond it, his mathematics suggested, the mass and energy of the particle can only...
Misdiagnosis Likely. A New England research team, reports Microbiologist Edward S. Murray of the Harvard School of Public Health, has studied 13 recent cases, two of them fatal. Six were on Cape Cod, five on Martha's Vineyard and one on Nantucket. The out-of-area case involved a man in Gloucester, Mass., 100 miles from the Cape. That was puzzling because no infected ticks had been found there. The doctors questioned the man closely. No, he had not been to the Cape. In fact, he had not been anywhere except out on the marsh, duck hunting. With...
...happen to spot the palms-and-soles rash, they are likely to misdiagnose the disease and treat it with sulfas or penicillin-both of which seem to make it worse. Lives can be saved, they say, if doctors will look for the distinctive signs, especially in summer, when the Cape and the islands are crawling with tourists-and ticks...
...above is a three-dimensional picture in two dimensions showing the relative population density of the U.S North Atlantic coast. That peak in the middle is New York City, with Washington on the left and Boston on the right. Also shown are Cape Cod, Chesapeake Bay, the mouth of the Delaware River, and the Long Island Sound (population zero...
