October 16, 1968--After more than a week of debate, the 17-member Undergraduate Council recommends withdrawing academic credit form ROTC and abolishing Corporation appointments for ROTC instructors...
Tums, meet Tagamet. The race to create global pharmaceutical companies inspired a transatlantic merger last week. London's Beecham Group, maker of Tums antacid, and Philadelphia's SmithKline Beckman, developer of the anti- ulcer drug Tagamet, said they will form a company with more than $6.7 billion in total sales. The merged corporation, to be renamed SmithKline Beecham, will rank No. 2 in the pharmaceutical world to New Jersey-based Merck...
Paraded before reporters in Matamoros, the four already under arrest acknowledged the grisly deeds but showed little remorse. The shirt of one suspect was pulled back to show a series of scars in the form of inverted crosses, an apparent sign that he was selected to kill. Later, police dispensed their own summary justice. Hauling one of the dopers back to the grave site, they forced him to dig in the blazing sun until he uncovered the 13th body...
...platinum in a bath of heavy water -- water whose ordinary hydrogen has been replaced with an isotope called deuterium. When they passed a current through the electrodes, the contraption produced heat. They concluded that deuterium ions had moved into the spaces between palladium atoms and fused together to form helium, giving off heat in the process...
...results emerging from dozens of labs in the U.S. and abroad. The data provided new support for the notion that cold fusion is real, but none of the experiments were complete or totally convincing. Researchers at Texas A&M University said they too had produced excess energy in the form of heat, though less than in the original experiment. Scientists at Georgia Tech, using a similar device, said they had detected excess neutrons, subatomic particles that are a normal by-product of fusion -- although they later announced that their experiment may have been flawed...
