...residence last week. Premier Nobusuke Kishi ignored the dangling ropes and scaffolds outside his open window as workmen installed air conditioning on an upper floor. Even when a heavy window frame slipped from a worker's hand and landed with a splintering crash on the ground, the smooth flow of Kishi's talk and his relaxed manner did not change...
...smooth and broad. The Commission to Prepare a Statement of Faith presented a 231-word document to the delegates, who passed it unanimously. Immediately after the vote, the delegates jumped to their feet-some laughing, many weeping-and burst spontaneously into the doxology: "Praise God from whom all blessings flow...
...Washington to replace dour Georgy Zarubin as ambassador. During 1958 the U.S. sent to the U.S.S.R. 82 separate exchange projects with 953 members-scientists, engineers, artists, entertainers, businessmen, farmers, athletes-and the U.S.S.R. sent to the U.S. 68 projects with 516 members. The cultural-exchange mood boomed the flow of U.S. tourists to the U.S.S.R. from some 4,000 in 1957 to an estimated 15,000 this year (TIME, June 22). No longer do Russians gape at the U.S. visitors as rarities from a mysterious other world...
...reactor must run extremely hot; otherwise the hydrogen will not form an effective gas jet. Thus Kiwi-A's innards are probably made of tricky, heat-resistant metals such as tungsten, tantalum and molybdenum. Control is far more difficult than with chemical engines, because the flow of hydrogen must be balanced perfectly against the production of energy by the reactor. A slight maladjustment of the controls might melt the nuclear engine in seconds or blow it to smithereens...
...major discovery of postwar oceanographers was that huge currents flow far below the surface; often these currents move faster than their surface counterparts. One such discovery came in 1951, when the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service sent a ship west of the Galapagos Islands to experiment with a Japanese technique of fishing for deep-swimming tuna. The scientists were surprised to see the fish lines drifting eastward while their ship was carried westward on the well-known equatorial surface current. The next year the Service's Townsend Cromwell established the reason: a hitherto unsuspected current, deep below the surface...
