...little town of Calipatria (pop. 2,500), a cluster of small stores and business buildings surrounded by the truck farms of California's broiling Imperial Valley, has always had one claim to fame: it is located 184 ft. below sea level, and fondly calls itself "the lowest-down city in the Western Hemisphere." Last week Calipatria got a raise in stature, if not elevation, as it demonstrated how far the Imperial Valley has come since the old days-and Pearl Harbor days-when inflamed feelings against Japanese settlers brought persecution and bloodshed...

Crammed in front of him and to his left stood screens flashing four different views of the game, plus a fifth monitor linked to another camera focused on cards bearing players' names.

Its first stage is a cluster of four Recruit solid-propellant rocket motors, made by Thiokol Chemical Corp. at Elkton, Md., each with 40,000 lbs. of thrust. Stage Two is a single Recruit. Stage Three is four clustered Arrow II rockets (thrust: 250 lbs. each). The last stage is a single Arrow II which pushes the payload-a tube containing 3.5 lbs. of instruments-to final speed. The whole assembly looks like a graceless bundle of pipes, weighs...
