...safety of their triple-sealed vacuum storage boxes, the lunar samples will be rushed to the LRL even before the Apollo 11 crew members arrive to wait out their 21-day quarantine period. There are "time-critical" tests that must be performed swiftly to detect any gas or radioactivity that the samples may give off; the emissions may decrease or stop soon after the sample is removed from the lunar surface. The samples will be sealed off from the rest of the world by a double biological barrier: 1) a vacuum system and a series of vacuum chambers in which...
...optical telescopes can be used continuously; no clouds, air currents or air pollution can impede viewing. Were the giant, 200-in. optical telescope at Mt. Palomar to be duplicated on the lunar surface, for example, it could observe stars that are 10,000 times too faint for it to detect through the earth's atmosphere...
...answer for the sociopathic driver, whose chief problem is immoderate behavior behind the wheel rather than at the bar. For alcoholics, Borkenstein cautiously proposes suspending their driving privileges until, through medical and psychiatric help, they have their problem under control. Alcoholism is hard to define and detect, and to penalize a man for such a vaguely defined condition is not consistent with the American concept of civil liberty. As a result, Borkenstein advises against suspending licenses except in cases of frequent alcohol-related violations...
Taken as a purely defensive instrument, CBW research might be valuable in teaching the military to detect a chemical or biological attack at the earliest moment-a considerable advantage, because many CBW agents are colorless, odorless and otherwise undetectable before they strike. Even so, it is not yet clear how such knowledge might benefit the civilian population, which could not be rapidly regimented to seek shelter or take antidotes...
...experts, notably Hanoi Watcher Douglas Pike, profess to detect differences in the Hanoi leadership about how best to proceed with the war in the South. The dominant group, of which Ho and Defense Minister Vo Nguyen Giap are members, is made up of hard-liners who brush aside domestic considerations. They hold that the war can be won by pressing on with the present strategy of employing both conventional and guerrilla forces in the South. A second group led by Politburo Member Truong Chinh, so the analysis goes, favors a return to guerrilla warfare in the South in an effort...
