...associations in 50 states serve 35.5 million U.S. savers (average account: $2,499) and make 46% of all home-mortgage loans in the U.S., nearly three times the number made by commercial banks. Next month the total assets of the industry will for the first time climb over the $100 billion mark-a twelvefold increase since World...
...almost instantaneous to blast off the ground, intercept and, through a precisely timed nuclear blast, destroy enemy missiles coming in at 17,000 miles an hour. "Traffic handling" refers to a system that prevents a flock of U.S. anti-missile missiles from blowing up each other as they climb to find enemy weapons. "Decoy discrimination" is a system that keeps the ABM from exploding harmlessly on contact with phony missiles and other chaff shot along with an attack. "Blackout effects" are caused by nuclear explosions of ABMs attacking an enemy bombardment, disrupt sound and electronic impulses in the gear that...
...have been studying this "airglow" layer for more than 40 years, and astronomers were cursing it long before that. Its faint green luminescence, which is probably caused by the recombination of irradiated oxygen atoms, masks dim but fascinating stars from earthbound telescopes. And not until men learned how to climb above that shimmering stratum in spacecraft could observers be sure of its altitude and thickness...
...Christ, The Glory of God and the Transfiguration of Christ-earned him applause in churchly reviews and a promotion to Regius Professor of Divinity at Cambridge. Then 45, he already looked so venerable that his students used to joke about old ladies helping him to cross streets and climb stairs. A High Churchman, Ramsey was chosen to be Bishop of Durham in 1952; he was well liked by the clergy of this ancient diocese, but one layman who recalls his sermons there admits that "he wasn't always very clear." Ramsey was translated to the archbishopric of York...
Suspicious Sniffers. If no special instruments are watching, cheap clandestine tests not far from earth could present a considerable temptation; but the U.S. intends to get detection apparatus working in space as soon as possible. Present plans call for two satellites launched by the same rocket. They will climb to 60,000 miles, well above the influence of the earth's magnetic field. There they will separate and be jockeyed into positions about 180 miles apart on the same orbit. They will circle the earth once every 92 hours, sniffing for suspicious bursts of soft X rays. Soon other...
