...space travel are designing and firing their own small rockets, and tracking them through the atmosphere. Near Cape Canaveral, Fla., tourists are staying in motels with such names as "The Sea Missile," eating in "Missile Barbecue," holding night parties on a beach where they can watch the distant pink glow of missile night firings; in the mornings, Florida fishermen bring up bits of the missiles in their nets. "Perhaps people sense that something momentous is about to occur," wrote a U.S. missileman in Alamogordo, N. Mex., a missile town whose population has increased since 1950 from...

Electrons from the Pm-147 make the phosphor glow, and its light is turned into electricity by a photoelectric surface of silicon on each side of the plastic wafer. No electrons escape from the plastic, and so the silicon is not damaged...
...that seem now as dead as any other journalism." And she believes that poems written according to formal rules are "but an imitation of poetry." What, then, is left? A compact, pocket-sized jewel case of highly personal and rare poetic experiences that have less outward shine than inner glow. Poet Raine's father was a spare-time nonconformist preacher in suburban London, but there is no doubt that a Buddhist would understand better than a Christian the implications of The Sphere...
