...further article stated that the agreement would be made "solely for the purpose of avoiding further friction between the undersigned... that they be able to exist in harmony with each other...
Bend Over. Friction mounted last November. Students asked for a weekly paper, were told they could put out only one issue, at the end of the term. The paddlings continued and many were administered by Powell himself. Once when there was a disturbance in a study hall, four Negro children were chosen at random to be paddled in Powell's office. "They told us to bend over like when we pray," said one little girl. "I was sore about three days." Later, another child complained: "Mr. Powell whipped me with a paddle one inch thick." Three boys said they...
...from a high mountain, it falls toward the earth in a curve. The greater the projectile's speed, the flatter the-curve of its fall. When the curve gets flat enough, it is a circle matching the curve of the earth's surface. Thus (but for air friction), the projectile might continue forever, round & round the earth. It would still be falling, but the surface of the earth would recede exactly as fast as the fall of the projectile...
...practice, air friction cannot be ignored. No sizable projectile has ever approached the necessary speed (about five miles a second) which would whirl it around the earth in about 100 minutes. Even the latest rockets do not carry enough fuel to get well above the atmosphere (some 500 miles) and settle into orbits. But atomic-powered rockets might theoretically do it. An atomic rocket motor might be one of the "components" that Forrestal's men are working...
Secretary of State George Marshall had remained scrupulously aloof from politics, as Truman knew he would. There had been friction between them-especially over Palestine and the Vinson Affair. But Harry Truman has never lost his great respect for Marshall, nor is he unmindful of the prestige and authority Marshall carries on Main Street as well as in Moscow. Last week, Marshall yearned more than ever for retirement, but the President pleaded with him to stay, fully aware, however, that some time, probably in a matter of months, the old soldier would have to be given his well-earned rest...
