...When the auction began last Friday, some 150 farmers crowded around the steps of the courthouse in Gove, Kans. (pop. 140). Sheriff Dean Baum began reading off the legal orders under which the personal property of C. David Jensen and his wife Virginia, both 54, would be sold to satisfy an unpaid debt of $180,000 to the Citizens State Bank of nearby Grainfield. Someone threw snowballs at one of the sheriff's deputies, and someone else shouted at the assembled officials: "Why don't you go out and steal them?" That was a reference to the two cars, three...
Nathaniel Gove, 19, of Kingston, Mass., was diagnosed as dyslectic in the second grade. He was pushed through a special public school program with a dozen other children who had various physical and emotional handicaps. Unable to spell, for example, he was told to "just skip it." In junior high school, he was assigned to a large special-education class that satisfied the law but virtually ignored Nat's problems. He and his parents were unaware of how little he was learning until a college counselor told his father: "Your son is hopeless." Furious at the summary judgment...
...that accumulates in all organisms while they live and decays at a known rate once they die. But it measures it in a different way. Current dating methods determine the age of an object indirectly, by measuring its carbon-14 radioactivity. The new technique being developed by Professor Harry Gove of Rochester and his fellow researchers measures the amount of carbon 14 directly. The scientists place a sample of the object to be evaluated in Rochester's tandem Van de Graaff particle accelerator. The machine separates carbon 14 and carbon 12, an atom that also accumulates at a steady...
Tiny Samples. Gove believes the direct measurement system, which requires as little as one-hundredth of the material needed for current dating tests, will eventually win wide acceptance. He and his colleagues have accurately determined some test samples to be 70,000 years old. With more work, they believe, they can push radiocarbon dating of tiny samples back to 100,000 years...
...year, summer included. Valley View uses its classrooms efficiently, dividing the children into four groups that have staggered schedules of nine weeks on and three weeks off. Thus the school has been able to absorb 1,760 new pupils without putting up a new building. Assistant Superintendent James Gove says the plan is "the equivalent of adding 75 classrooms worth $7,500,000 without spending a cent...
