...secret that several officers in the U.S. command's secret information-gathering center in Saigon keep Japanese-made "laughing bags" on their desks. The little battery-operated noise boxes emit an 18-second burst of hysterical laughter at the push of a button. Officers have been known to push the button during working hours-quite possibly in response to the latest batch of statistics to arrive from the battlefields or hamlets of Indochina...
...pavilion has been a favorite of the crowds. In addition to its collection of amusing works by Joan Miro, it has a continuous screen showing of skits by a Japanese comedy team called the Crazy Cats. In Japan's highly popular Steel Pavilion, 1,300 loudspeakers emit a cacophonic music. Visitors are also transfixed by the mechanized Noguchi fountains in the Pond of Dreams, especially by Comet, which rises 108 ft. out of the water and at night resembles a huge rocket leaving the launching...
Most scientists believe that pulsars emit their pulses by spinning rapidly. The time between pulses has been believed to be constant, but Drake has found that it is increasing very slightly. The energy the pulsar loses in rotation is given off as radiation; the energy loss of a pulsar is 100,000 times the energy loss...
...crow? a CROW? No, no, no, no, no, my goodness no, not a crow at all. They emit a beautiful sound, a sort of kissing sound-chwink, chwink-which a crow cannot even approach. Pity is that they do it right on my window sill at dawn...
...next six months, OAO is scheduled to study more than 50,000 stars, most of them of the hot, young variety that emit 95% of their energy in heretofore unobservable ultraviolet light. From the ultraviolet TV pictures and data that the satellite transmits, scientists hope to learn more about the chemical composition of the stars, their temperatures, their rate of burning and their total energy emission. These characteristics in turn should help them understand how stars are born out of cosmic dust and gas, how heavy elements are formed in stars and how the universe itself evolved...
