...sucking in water. This distorts the surrounding boundary layer of water, changes its frictional effects and causes the torpedo to turn. In a rocket flying through the atmosphere, the control jets of a fluidic stabilization system are attached to vents in the rocket's nose cone. As the attitude of the rocket be gins to change, the nose vents gulp in air at different pressures, and those changing pressures control a small jet of hot gases shot at right angles into the rocket's exhaust. As the exhaust gases are deflected, they correct the rocket's attitude...
Comet Composition. During the shower, the Air Force will launch an Aerobee rocket equipped with a "Venus Flytrap" nose cone. While the rocket is rising to a peak altitude of 117 miles, four arms will extend out of the nose cone to catch the Leonid meteoroids, entering the earth's atmosphere at a speed of 162,000 m.p.h.; then the arms fold into the nose cone, which will fall back to earth carrying specimens that will help scientists determine the composition of the comet...

There were four cone-shaped puncture wounds in her skull, all caused by heavy, bludgeon-like blows.

The dead were buried on and around the 250-foot hill that is now called Burnett's Mound, on the southwestern edge of Topeka, and the Great Spirit was enjoined to protect the place forever from the twister's deadly cone.* Topeka's immunity to catastrophic tornadoes had itself become a legend until 7:13 one evening last week, when most citizens were at dinner. By the time they would have been clearing the table, 15 were dead and 300 injured, and a good part of the city...
