Nor has he overfavored the Air Force itself.* Preparing a 1958 budget, Quarles helped trim preliminary requests totaling $23 billion down to $17.7 billion.

...meet this objection, Drs. Calvin and Sogo cooled their apparatus down to - 140°C., close to the temperature of liquid air, so that electron-yielding chemical reactions could not happen. Then they placed deep-frozen chlorophyll in a magnetic field and shot extremely high-frequency radio waves through it. When strong light was shone on the chlorophyll, some of the radio energy was absorbed. This proved to Dr. Calvin that chlorophyll exposed to sunlight contains free electrons, and is therefore capturing light energy by the layer-to-layer method. Nature's green plants. Dr. Calvin believes, have turned...
