Died. Conrad ("Nicky") Hilton Jr., 42, a director of his father's 41-nation hotel chain and inveterate playboy, who in 1950 became the first husband of an 18-year-old super-starlet named Elizabeth Taylor, was divorced by her after nine months and later remarried only once; of a heart attack; in West Los Angeles, Calif...
What this long-time journalist for the Newhouse newspaper chain attempted was to write a definitive history of the campaign. In this effort he failed. Not because he didn't gather the facts about the campaign, but because he didn't understand the forces which made 1968 such an abnormal political year. Witcover admires Kennedy's ability to attract students and black support as well as white ethnic votes (Hungarians, Polish-Americans). In his attempt to avoid analysis, however, he leaves all the background threads hanging--unconnected to the facts of the campaign. Thus, Witcover spends 35 pages describing...
Polyethylene oxide, the material that eased Highburton's passage, is known to chemists as a long-chain polymer because it consists of lengthy strings of linked molecules. In the water near a ship, the molecular chains act much like an array of thin parallel tubes, allowing water to flow smoothly back along the hull but retarding its movement in any other direction. As a result, the friction-building turbulence that is normally generated by a ship slicing through the water is sharply reduced...
...lubricating effect of long-chain polymers is also being studied in the U.S. In Dallas and Cleveland, the chemicals have been injected into sewer lines to speed the flow of wastes and thus increase the capacity of the disposal system. Dallas has reported a 2.5-fold increase in flow through a test line. California's TRW Systems has received a Navy contract to investigate the possibility of using long-chain polymers to make torpedoes run faster...
