...world-famed features range from the computerlike introspection of Bobby Fischer, 23, defending the U.S. chess title in Manhattan last week, to the craggy face of French Olympic Skier Jean-Claude Killy, 23, swooping through the slalom gates in Chile. It is World Record Miler Jim Ryun, 19, snapping news pictures for the Topeka Capital-Journal to prepare himself for the day when he can no longer break four minutes. It is Opera Singer Jane Marsh, 24, capturing first prize at Moscow's Tchaikovsky competition. It is Medal of Honor Winner Robert...
...private dock (cost: $250). But it is most popular in marinas. This winter the Cos Cob boatyard will keep 80 boats in the water, and Manager Michael Brown expects the number to double again in 1967-68. The one Chicago marina to try it is full to capacity. Ted Fischer, president of the Northport Marina on Long Island installed a bubble system two years ago, now has 75 boats lined up to float until spring...
Cold Stills & Hot Springs. Geologist William Fischer, who headed the survey, soon recognized the significance of the findings: like an aerial divining rod, the infra-red scanner had spotted streams of cool, fresh rain water flowing out into the ocean. After completing the volcanic survey, the B-25 flew back and forth over Hawaii's entire coastline, eventually detecting a total of 219 shore areas that might have underground fresh-water springs. In one 5-sq.-mi. area in Hilo Bay, the scientists estimate, the discharge of fresh water amounts to 100 million gallons a day. Using the infra...
Infra-red detection of underground fresh water will soon be possible anywhere in the world. Fischer is currently working on infra-red instruments for the Geological Survey's EROS (Earth Resources Observation Satellites) program, hopes to have it aboard a satellite by 1969. Once in operation, it might serve to find water under deserts, chart the best locations for wells and discover new hot springs for resort sites. It could even help the U.S. Internal Revenue Service by searching the Southern hill country for the hidden cold springs that are needed for the operation of illegal stills...
...three new labels, Seraphim ("Angels of the highest order") has the brightest roster of musicians, including Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and Wilhelm Furtwängler. Philips' World Series has less prominent but still lustrous names (Clara Haskil, Marcel Dupré) and an equally broad selection of works. Epic's Crossroads, the only one of the trio with all recent, all truly stereophonic recordings, has culled its list from that of the Czechoslovak firm Supraphon and thus gives voice to the Czech Philharmonic, the Smetana Quartet, and the Prague Symphony Orchestra. Some jewels in new settings...
