Hatfield, a man of boyish good looks, will be responsible for whipping dele gates into a suitable state of partisan enthusiasm and wooing televiewers to the party cause. Actually, Republicans can expect little by way of breathless oratory from him. His delivery is cool, crisp and unemotional, whether on the political stump or talking to a group of his fellow Baptist laymen on the subject of "The Erosion of the Lordship of Christ in the Protestant Church." But Hatfield will give convention voice to the far reaches of the western U.S. And no one doubts that the welltailored, button-down...
...week before, clearly enfeebled by the stroke he had suffered in January, he had himself brushed aside a question about his successor with the smiling reply: "My lifetime is not ending so very soon." Last week he had helicoptered back to Delhi from a four-day vacation in the cool hills surrounding Dehra Dun. He woke as usual at 6:30 a.m., but instead of performing his customary yoga exercises, complained of pains in his back. Within minutes, he collapsed in a coma from which he never recovered. At 2 p.m., he was dead. A Cabinet minister rose in Parliament...
Ford's Magic Skyway is worth a wait of perhaps 30 minutes, on a cool day. But lines mass there as if the company were giving away Fords. The superb showmanship of putting people in new automobiles and driving them past an assemblage of plastic reptiles and plastic cavemen by Walt Disney is more than the contemporary world is able to resist. The prehistoric pageant lasts only twelve minutes. The car radio announces: "This is the world that was," and the rider swerves past little dinosaur eggs hatching before his very eyes, while off to the left...
...Cool Sun. When they set up their cameras in a Douglas DC-8 jetliner and flew high over Canada during last summer's eclipse, Drs. Guglielmo Righini of Italy and Armin J. Deutsch of the U.S. counted on snapping some of the clearest pictures yet of the sun's glowing corona. But up there above the dust, water vapor and other difficulties of the earth's atmosphere, the two astronomers told the Florence meeting of COSPAR (Committee on Space Research), they found far more than they expected. Their pictures of the sun's spectrum showed...
...Righini and Deutsch now believe that there must be cool spots in the corona, but they can only guess at the mechanism that makes these cool spots possible. Perhaps, they say, the corona is threaded with magnetic fields that churn it around, making it lumpy and unevenly heated. Whatever the final explanation, it may provide an insight into solar flares, the violent sun storms which generate radiation that can kill a man in space...
