That ice outside may be more than not nice; according to the Blue Hill Meteorological Observatory it is probably the harbinger of a long, colder-than-usual winter. Working from the calculations of a German seasonal forecasting expert, Professor Franz Baur, the meteorologists have concluded that this year's cold November may be an accurate barometer predicting lots more cold weather to come...
Newsmen thought it was a tossup which was colder-the six-above-zero dawns on Nevada's frozen mountainsides or the Atomic Energy Commission. The AEC wouldn't even give reporters the time of day of an A-blast, or the day.

By last week, when the first big explosion finally came, one-third of the correspondents had given up in disgust. By week...
...life was apparently scarce at that time. But Egyptian and Israeli paleontologists have promised to send him suitable specimens from above and below the dividing line.

At some point in its downward motion it makes the air supersaturated. In this sensitive layer, cosmic rays or other fast-moving atomic particles leave trails that show up in a flashlight beam as brilliant white streaks...
