...World Evangelical Fellowship, Protestants all over the world last week offered prayers for their brothers in Spain. And Spain's 30,000-odd Protestant worshipers gathered in private homes, or in buildings that may show no sign that they are churches, to make their devotions' and give thanks for the prayers of their brethren in other lands. The Protestants of Spain, outnumbered by Roman Catholics 1,000 to 1, feel that they need all the prayers they...
...Novels. The trouble with most of the famous gunskinners was that they started to believe their own publicity. The legend of the West was growing almost as fast as the reality. The dime novels, with a bow to James Fenimore Cooper, had begun to give a first, rough literary form to the western story. By 1890 the "flesh-times in Kansas" were a thing of the past. Wild Bill Hickok had been tamed by Writer-Promoter Ned Buntline, and was playing in Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West show ("Fear not, fair maid, you are safe at last with...
...rockets used only solid fuel, not liquid and solid as reported). Uninformed public-information officers on duty at the Pentagon had nothing at all to tell the clamoring press.

...Each time Perennial Candidate Daly runs for mayor of Chicago or President of the U.S., he shrilly demands his full free share of the air waves.* By law he has it coming: Section 315 of the Communications Act, the so-called "equal time" provision, requires a broadcasting station to give any political candidate as much time as it gives any other-as Daly knows full well. Last week Lar Daly's insistence had radio and television newsmen across the country in a stew and the President of the U.S. in a state of irritation...
Racing Particles. Since a good source of electrons is atom bombs, which give off vast swarms of them, military authorities realized quickly that rocket-borne atom bombs, exploded at the proper altitude over the proper part of the earth, would test peaceful magnetic theories while giving answers to military problems. e.g., the possible use of atomic charges exploded above the atmosphere as a defense against ballistic missiles. When an atom bomb explodes in the atmosphere, its fireball stops expanding when its pressure falls to that of the air around it; in the vacuum above the atmosphere, the fireball expands indefinitely...
