This common condition, Menzel believes, is responsible for many of the saucer sightings (see diagram). The warm air overhead turns downward the light from bright objects, such as street lights or auto headlamps. If the "interface" is too turbulent, it can form no visible image, but if it is just steady enough, it will create bright images that seem to sweep rapidly across the dark sky. This is the explanation, says Menzel, for the famous "Lubbock Lights,"* which have been taken for interplanetary space ships flying in formation. They may be the images of a string of lights...
Apparently, it wasn't too hard for the Famous Physicist, for he replied by return airmail, though he forgot to put a 6? stamp on the envelope. In any case, Johanna got his letter, with a diagram* and instructions on how to do the problem. The Physicist's diagram merely suggested that a right triangle can be formed from 1) the line of centers, 2) a line parallel to the common tangent and running through the center of the smaller circle, and 3) the radius of the larger circle. The length of the tangent can then be found...
...Probably a rather baffling diagram for Johanna. Instead of drawing the tangent circles the problem called for, the Physicist spread his circles apart, introduced a third circle with a radius equal to the difference between the radii of the original...
...Eric Shipton, the Britons climbed to a 20,000-ft. buttress on nearby Pumori for a glimpse of a new route. They found they could see right over the treacherous ice fall to the head of the Western Cwm,t about 2,500-ft. below the South Col* (see diagram). To Shipton it looked as if there was a direct route up to the 25,000-ft. mark on Lhotse, followed by a traverse to the South Col. In a later climb up the silent, towering spires of the ice fall, Shipton's party was thwarted near...
...Tucker began by reading part of Hindemith's preface to the 1948 revision of Das Marienlaben. With the aid of a diagram and a dozen pages of technical discussion, the composer points out how this version differs from the original 1923 score. The improvements resulted in a more unified piece, and each of the fifteen songs included were fashioned into parts that together produce an integrated and carefully calculated effect. For instance, the first and seventh songs (Birth of Mary and Birth of Christ) use the same melodic and harmonic material, thus demonstrating the similarity between the two events...
