Some 5,100 students shuffled methodically through the semi-annual registration process at Memorial Hall yesterday. Contrary to early expectations, no jam-up in the steady flow of undergraduates occurred during the joint registration hours of 4 and 6 p.m. when all latecomers filed through without wait...
...almost every country, Acheson went on, "There is some nucleus of skill, some group of people whose technical abilities can be expanded with help from the outside." The U.S. would work with these people. If successful, the program would also "create the conditions under which capital may flow into those countries. [The President] did not say this was to be governmental capital...
...answer may sometimes be quite impromptu and unpredictable. We cannot control foreign policy through our action on this or any other nominee. I want to make that plain. Therefore, it should be made wholly obvious that we do not underwrite the results, in terms of foreign policy, which will flow from our confirmation of this or any other nominee...
Slots & Flaps. The lift in an airplane's wings can be increased by increasing the angle of attack (i.e., the angle at which it meets the air stream). If the angle becomes too great, the air stream does not flow smoothly over the wing; it breaks into turbulent eddies. The wing loses most of its lift, and the stall that results can throw the airplane, into a disastrous spin. The danger of stalling can be lessened by slots behind the leading edge of the wing. The slots feed thin layers of air to the wing's upper side...
...fourth corner post of physics, still unknown, Gamow says, will probably be an "elementary length" which will divide space into "smallest" units, just as Planck's Constant divided the flow of energy into "smallest" bursts (the "quantum" of the quantum theory). Gamow suspects that this missing length may turn out to be about 10 -13 centimeter (one ten-trillionth of a centimeter). A length close to this shows up as the radius of an electron, and as the effective range of forces in the atomic nuclei. "All kinds of physical considerations," says Gamow, "become senseless when...
