...Thus believing that a true Zionist must necessarily commit himself to settling in Israel, Ben-Gurion has branded U.S. Zionists as hypocrites, and has fenced for years on the issue with Zionist President Goldmann. Speaking to the 25th World Zionist Congress in Jerusalem last December, Ben-Gurion threw fresh fuel on the controversy by interjecting a Talmudic passage: "Whoever dwells outside the land of Israel is considered to have...
...missile, the efficiency of the engine is limited by the quality of its fuel. And as chemically fueled engines approach peak efficiency, the fuel they require becomes increasingly difficult to manage. But a nuclear rocket-in which hard-to-handle hydrogen will be heated by an atomic reactor-would offer ample recompense for its built-in problems. Its thrust, Seaborg explained, would be far greater than that available from any combination of chemical fuels; it would open the way to space voyages impossible with any other missile...
...highway program. That would permit the building of a 41,000-mile interstate network to be completed in the early 1970s. Resisting heavy pressures from the oil and trucking lobbies, the House voted to bankroll the bill by continuing the current 4?-per-gallon tax on gasoline and diesel fuel (both were slated to drop to 3? next month), and to boost taxes on trucks, tires, inner tubes. The bill now goes to the Senate, which is expected to examine it critically...
...controllable, maneuverable space vehicle capable of skimming the atmosphere on hot, stubby wings and of landing on a chosen spot, not merely drifting down by parachute like the Vostok or Freedom 7. Now veteran rocketmen are talking of beating Dyna-Soar off the pad. They are suggesting a solid-fuel rocket with upper-stage rockets powerful enough to put the present X-15 into orbit. Long before the Russians get a true plane into space, the U.S. might have the X-15 circling the world. Once in orbit, the swift little rocketship could maneuver freely, change direction and altitude, cross...
...doing reasonably well in military space craft. The solid-fuel Minuteman proved long ago that it can take off handily from an underground silo; last week a two-stage, 110-ton liquid-fuel Titan also took off from a silo. Pre ceded by a burst of flame, it roared out of a 146-ft. concrete-lined hole at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. Since it carried a dummy second stage, it flew for only 140 seconds before it was deliberately "destructed" by radio command. But it proved that even comparatively tender liquid-fuel rockets, which are heavy weight lifters...
