Eight major steel companies withdrew their original pleas of innocence and pleaded nolo contendere (no contest) to criminal charges that they had rigged some prices of the commonest grade of steel, carbon steel sheets, which go into autos, washing machines, kitchen cabinets, refrigerators, office furniture and many other consumer goods. Judge Edward Weinfeld of Manhattan's U.S. district court fined them $50,000 each, the maximum allowed under the Sherman Antitrust...
...them, BSO-1 (blue stellar object) seems to be speeding at the rate of 125,000 miles a second, making it second only to quasar 3C-9 (149,000 miles a second) as the most distant known object. The spectral patterns also showed a presence of ionized carbon atoms that have been detected previously only in the most distant quasars. The blue objects probably outnumber quasars 500 to 1 and are scattered throughout the universe-the nearest one being" 20 million light-years from earth...
...been created on earth only as infinitesimal particles in giant synchrotrons, reacts violently when it comes into contact with true matter. One product of the Siberian reaction would have been a vast number of free neutrons, many of which would have joined with nitrogen atoms, turning them into radioactive carbon 14. Calculations showed that the explosion would have increased the carbon-14 content of the earth's atmosphere by about 7%. That heightened radioactivity could be expected to show up in vegetable matter a short time later...
...submarine division of the First Annual Willam James Hall Boat Race, Stanley Milgram, assistant professor of Social Psychology, appears to be the prime contender with a hull made of a baby bottle with a carbon dioxide cartridge for a propulsion unit. The craft is supposed to run submerged for most of the race and surface at the finish...
...Martian life, said the panel headed by Princeton Biologist Colin S. Pittendrigh and Stanford's Nobel-prizewinning Geneticist Joshua Lederberg, must be hardy enough to survive long periods of extreme dryness and cold. Martian organisms may concentrate water vapor the way earthly plants collect small traces of carbon dioxide; they may even make their own water by chemical action. There is a possibility that they need no water at all, using some other liquid as a fluid medium...
