None of the forecasters seem to have any good solution for the traffic problem, though they count on automated, and possibly underground, highways. McLuhan and others predict that both the wheel and the highway will be obsolete, giving way to hovercraft that ride on air. Planes carrying 1,000 passengers and flying just under the speed of sound will of course be old hat. The new thing will be transport by ballistic rocket, capable of reaching any place on earth in 40 minutes. In Rand's Delphi study, 82 scientists agreed that a permanent lunar base will have been...
...example, they constantly referred to a large number of laboratories that would be damaged by the highway, but did not consistently indicate how many (5) would actually be destroyed. As a partial result, the Boston Globe reported the next morning that nine (or ten, depending on how you count) laboratories would be "up-rooted." The M.I.T. officials also constantly emphasized the possible disruption to experiments from vibrations, and yet their discussion was almost totally couched in generalities. One is left to wonder how serious the threat is--how many experiments will be significantly altered or thereatend--or whether M.I.T...

...somebody may break 4 min. 15 sec. in the mile. But don't count on it: the way the indoor-track season is going, Jesse Owens could prob ably come out of retirement and win two events a night. The best shotputter in the U.S. at the moment is a 34-year-old bank vice president who can't get within 2 ft. of the world's record. The best two-milers include an Arizona sci ence teacher and a Massachusetts busi nessman. And the 4-min. 15-sec. mile is no exaggeration: that is what...
With a 4-0 record and a decisive victory in the Greater Boston meet last week, Harvard's trackmen look like a sure thing to win the Big Three title in New Haven Saturday for the fifth straight year. But don't count...
