...eight centuries before Christ. One contained the bones of Midas' line. Also found in the tombs were a four-poster bed (bearing a five-ft.-three-skeleton), inlaid screens and tables, riding gear, weapons and quantities of bronze objects, from giant caldrons ornamented with winged figures to enormously complex hairpins with concealed catches. Buried with a little prince were a vase in the shape of a goose and toy animals of great refinement...
...Praise God . . ." So complex was the task that the Commission to Prepare a Constitution had not managed to circulate its draft until a few weeks before the Oberlin meeting; ministers had had little opportunity to discuss it with their church members, and many had not received copies at all. At first it looked as if the synod's inability to approve the constitution on such short notice would postpone its going into effect at least until the summer of 1963-General Synods meet only at two-year intervals. But the Oberlin meeting decided to reconvene for a special session...
...Berkeley, Calif., one of the world's biggest, most complex and most dangerous scientific instruments was ready for full operation for the first time. Its name was a tongue twister: the liquid hydrogen bubble chamber, designed and built by the University of California's Radiation Laboratory. In the next week or so, a beam of antiprotons from Berkeley's great 6 billion-volt Bevatron will pass through a pipe 200 ft. long, enter an odd-looking building and strike into a glass-topped metal bathtub containing 150 gal. of liquid hydrogen. As the antiprotons travel through...
...known more romantically as the Space Highway. Amid the landscaped woods of the industrial parks along commuter-clogged 128 are tucked scores of low, angular buildings bearing science-fiction names: Trans-Sonics, Tracerlab, Microwave, Dynametrics. These plants add up to the biggest and fastest-growing science-based complex* in the U.S., and provide the nation's most impressive proof of the vast new industrial potential of the electronics and space age. Beyond that, they are a dramatic demonstration of the fact that behind current new industrial development lies one key factor: new ideas...
...Most of the propaganda is not so obvious; the Russians are content to let their products make their case. There are elaborate table models of heavy Russian industrial units: an integrated steel plant sprawls over a 450-sq.-ft. area: there are models of a plastics and synthetic-rubber complex and an offshore drilling platform that stands on hundreds of stilts in the Caspian Sea. In an area called "Atoms for Peace," the Russians show a 15-ft. model of the icebreaker Lenin...
