Uncle Sam is making ominous noises and, liked dew on a hot morning, leaves of absence have evaporated. Everyone is back, nestled safely in the warmth of a 2-S, overfilling the houses. So many people have returned that the college, normally fusty about losing sight of as charges, is almost encouraging people to move off campus...
...most extreme conditions, French Physician Alain Bombard set out from France to cross the Atlantic in a 15-ft. dinghy-without once tapping his sealed crate of emergency supplies. He caught dolphins and birds and ate them raw, endured three rainless weeks by drinking juices he pressed from fish, dew scraped up from the deck, and a daily pint of sea water.

Germany's notoriously inefficient small farmers and egg distributors look at such ingenuity differently−as unfair competition. They are clamoring...

ADC has developed a radar network that includes the Pinetree Line along the northern U.S. border, the Mid-Canada Line, the Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line at the Arctic Circle, and Ballistic Missile Early Warning System (BMEWS) bases at Clear, Alaska; Thule, Greenland; and Fyling-dales Moor, England. Under development: over-the-horizon radar capable of detecting missiles on actual launching from Russia or China, which will give the U.S. 30 minutes of warning instead of the present...
