This week, with learned discussions and addresses by distinguished guests, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology celebrates its 100th anniversary. Established by Geologist William Barton Rogers, who promised that his school would be "founded on a thorough knowledge of scientific laws and principles," M.I.T. has more than met its mandate. Its job is to train scientists and technologists who can keep pace with the bewildering change that M.I.T.'s Stratton considers the dominant fact of modern life. Its methods are copied around the world; the Israel Institute of Technology, for example, is largely modeled after M.I.T. As perhaps no other...

To Geologist Donald Rawson, 26, and Physicist Gary Higgins, 33, the new lava pool sounded like an ideal testing site for a key phase of the Atomic Energy Commission's Project Plowshare: a plan for harnessing a steam-powered turbogenerator to the tremendous heat released by underground nuclear explosions...
...about an oily Emir who wants more oil, and a berobed old Britisher with a patch over one eye and a theory that, by Allah, there is petroleum under a certain unpromising patch of ground. The old fellow's bastard son shows up, learns to be an oil geologist in a trice, and shortly is locked in mortal combat with his father. It is this son who defends the fort, and he would be there yet, pinging away with his Enfield at the emir's thugs, if the Trucial Oman Scouts had not fetched him out. They...
