...been able to stock pile materiel in the open until it could be trucked southward at night into the hands of the Viet Cong (see cover sto ry). "Now they will have a longer run to make," observed Air Force Brigadier General J. M. Philpott, "and a new risk element...
Brecht's story is set in Chicago, 1912, where two men battle each other to the death for no reason at all but that they are both alive. Says Brecht: "In observing this battle do not rack your brain for motives: concern yourself with the human element...concentrate your interest on the showdown." The play lives off power, the juxtaposition of the brute vitalities of the prairie born George Garga (Daniel Deitch) and the Malay lumber dealer, Shlink (Seth Adagala...
Williams, calling himself a middle-of-the-roader, has appealed to the "reasonable" element among segregationists and conservatives and has left Barnett try to out-scream Swan for the rabid-racist support. Williams has the distinct advantage of having lost his House seniority by supporting Republican Barry Goldwater in the 1964 election. This made a minor martyr of him. In a Southern state like Mississippi, where personal attacks rather than issues dominate campaigns, promises differ in tone and emphasis and not in content. Williams, who has amply proved his conservative credentials by giving up his Party power for Goldwater, does...
Dating the Moon. Walker's methods have already produced important discoveries. By analyzing fission tracks, Russian scientists recently identified the 104th chemical element, named Khurchatorium, arid U.S. research scientists spotted the phenomenon of triple fission-the splitting of a nucleus into three roughly equal parts. General Electric scientists have irradiated thin strips of plastic, etched the fission tracks with acid, and produced a material of great potential medical significance-a sensitive sieve that duplicates the filtering capacity of human membranes...
...Second Synch. The basic element in the system is electronic measurement of the distance between aircraft, each of which must carry an atomic timepiece synchronized to a network of ground-based master clocks. In places where master-clock stations are not feasible, such as remote ocean areas, one plane would take over as the master clock, and all other planes in the sector would synchronize with it. The whole system would operate at dazzling speed: 196 converging aircraft, all of whose clocks were completely unsynchronized, could sort themselves out and synchronize in 30 seconds...
