Under the proposed program, married students will receive maternity coverage for a flat fee of about $250 per delivery. Final details of the plan, currently under discussion with the Boston Lying-In Hospital, have not yet been settled, though...
...much for the career-woman question. But there is another hour to fill-plenty of time to solve the race problem too. So meanwhile, back at the cold-water flat, the Negro maid (Juanita Moore) is having trouble with her light-skinned daughter, who is yearning for the day when she will be old enough to leave home and pass herself off as white. The day comes, the girl goes, and the scriptwriters settle down to the point of the picture: an interminable scene in which the poor old Negro maid dies of a broken heart. Excerpts...

The significant parts of the line are its depressions below the flat parts: the deeper they are, the greater the energy. The depressions come in cycles reflecting the tumbling of the satellite, but some of the energy is recorded when the scintillator is "looking away" from the direction of the radiation. This reveals that the lower part of the Van Allen radiation belt contains particles powerful enough to pass through the shielding around the scintillator...
