...radio. The tapes of this test will not be fully interpreted for some time, but they have already roughly confirmed the existence of the dust layer. When the analysis is finished, Dr. Soberman hopes to have a better explanation of the mysterious micrometeorite belt that hangs like a faint cloud at the outer fringe of the atmosphere...
...dugout, looking for all the world like a dejected pitcher who had just been shelled out of a crucial game. Only when his teammates swarmed about to pat his back and the Independence Day crowd of 74,246 at Yankee Stadium* cut loose with a tumultuous roar did a faint grin flicker across the lips of Edward ("Whitey") Ford, the New York Yankees' crafty southpaw pitcher.

...more sophisticated model, developed in San Francisco by Dr. George A. Harkins (now in Boston) and Engineer Mogens L. Bramson, works on gas pressure and is hooked up to an electrocardiograph. It works like the Oregon machine until a faint natural heartbeat is detected. Then it automatically synchronizes itself, through the ECG, with the human pump, and works with it, never against...
...faint chirp of the airborne radio has been followed for only 25 miles, and the Navy has added little to its pigeon lore. But seagoing scientists have far more ambitious experiments in mind. Porpoises, another animal uncannily clever at navigation, will be fitted with larger transmitters in the hope of learning how the aquatic mammals set their course. Eventually, the Navy hopes, its little radios will signal defeat for an ancient enemy: the albatrosses (known as gooney birds) that nest by the thousands on Midway Island and make its runways dangerous for aircraft. Naval experts on bird migration suspect that...
