...titular boss in the White House if he failed to hurry home with the message that the Eisenhower stock was at a new low with most of the party, that the oldtime conservatives -who never put much stock in Ike anyway -were ready, willing and thirsting to take control if something didn't happen fast...
...Germany's military espionage organization, innocently called "Administration for Coordination." Dombrowski, 42, told newsmen he had defected "several months ago," and brought with him long lists of agents and dispatches that he had turned over to the "proper Western authorities." The total East German apparatus, he declared, involved control of 60,000 agents, with 13,000 of his own agents working undercover in Britain, France, Spain, Italy, West Germany, and in the U.S. installations in Europe...
Though the four members of the Mali Federation will retain control of their own economies, they will have a common language (French), flag (red, black and gold), federal government (two ministers from each state plus a Parliament of 48 assemblymen), and will remain in De Gaulle's new French Community...
Solid-fuel rockets are the dream weapons of military rocketeers. They have no pumps or valves to go wrong and are always ready to fire. Their big trouble is that they are harder to control than liquid-fuel rockets, whose small combustion chambers, fed by flexible pipes, can be mounted on gimbals. When a liquid-fuel rocket takes off, it can switch its gas jet from side to side, correcting any tendency to veer off course. But solid-fuel rockets have no separate combustion chamber, only a nozzle to form the gases into a high-speed jet. Usually the nozzle...
...guidance and control purposes, solid-fuel rockets are normally loaded with fuel to full capacity. Thus when one of them is fired at a target short of the maximum range, something must be done to cut off or slow the thrust when the rocket reaches the necessary speed. The flow of liquid fuels can be controlled by valves or pumps. Comparable control can be achieved with solids, said Ritchey, by opening small apertures upstream from the nozzle. The gas that leaks out through them reduces the pressure in the combustion chamber, and the thrust falls...
