Fast Jet. In late December, says Namias, the waves in the planetary wind were feeble and lethargic. The wind blew almost due east across the U.S., and since its energy was not dissipated in zigzag waves, it blew unusually fast; the jet stream, its fast-moving core, was clocked at 170 m.p.h. But the mixing effect of the wind was almost nil. The Arctic kept its cold air and grew colder and colder as its heat radiated into space, while the U.S. stayed warm. The port of Green Bay, Wis. was open for navigation on Dec. 29, the first time...
...most puzzling known particles of the atom is the neutron, the uncharged building block of the nucleus. To explain its lack of electrical charge, nuclear physicists have long supposed that the particle is made up of a tiny, positively charged core surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged mesons. These two charges were thought to cancel each other out, producing the neutral neutron...
Last week, before an international conference of A-scientists at Stanford, Researcher Hofstadter reported on the evidence uncovered by his rebounding electrons. His findings indicate that the neutron has no precisely defined core and cloud. Instead, the positive charge that had once been attributed to a core now seems to be intermingled throughout the particle with the negatively charged cloud of mesons. To the 200 delegates (including four Russians) this was disquieting news. Said one American scientist: "The theoretical idea of the neutron structure must be re-examined,"-i.e., back to the laboratories...
...these arrangements, firm and tentative, would at best net India $700 million. But to pay for the imported steel and equipment needed to complete even the hard core of the plan, India must have still another $500 million to $600 million in foreign aid within the next 18 months. Nehru makes no secret of the fact that he is looking to the U.S. to fill this...
...Department of Statistics now recommends graduate students for Masters and Ph.D. degrees in Statistics and in various combined fields. The Department's curriculum in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences has shown "the core of what the undergraduate field should include...
