Jerry A. Brinkman, whose elaborately elevatored glider (see diagram) lasted 9.4 seconds. Distance awards went to Berkeley Physicist Robert Meuser (89 ft.) and Stewart-Warner Corp. Engineer Louis W. Schultz, whose 11-in.-long delta wing, made of graph paper, flew 58 ft. 2 in. before skidding to a stop. Pioneer Naval Aviator Ralph S. Barnaby, 74, took the aerobatics prize with a stabilizer-equipped glider that gracefully floated through two complete outside loops. Brown University Anthropologist James Sakoda folded his way to the origami award; his swept-wing craft proved air-worthless, but the judges admired...
...love them both, and I hope I don't have to give up either." The back garden has suffered somewhat in the past 18 months, but he still manages to take long walks. He used to play golf, but with typical thoroughness began charting his game on a graph, saw no signs of improvement, and stashed his left-handed clubs...
...great and growing impact on network programming decisions. Actress Chris Noel was dropped from CBS's forthcoming comedy series Pistols and Petticoats, with the explanation that she "pretested" badly. Every time blonde and buxom Chris came on-camera during the screening, there was an inexplicable plunge in the graph line that records the composite reaction of the button pushers. Similarly, negative readings caused the jettisoning of an entire subplot from Pistols and Petticoats, and the replacement of ten other projected series performers. The previewers have even assumed script control over ABC's new That Girl. Bowing...
...strains of bacteria, Cornell University Biologist Martin Alexander and General Electric Chemist John Gould have found that each excretes metabolic wastes that are chemically distinct. When the waste products of a single strain are passed through a laboratory chromatograph. a device that separates chemical compounds, they produce a distinctive graph with characteristic peaks and valleys. Thus the graphs or chromatograms of unidentified bacteria can be com pared with those of known bacteria and-like fingerprints-be used to establish their exact identity...
Because of their varying speeds, the compounds that constitute the metabolic products are segregated. As each compound emerges-in order of its speed through the column-it is sensed by an ionization detector and recorded on a graph as a distinct peak. Within minutes, all of the compounds have passed through the chromatograph, each forming its own peak on the graph. Since the metabolic products of each strain of bacteria contain different chem ical compounds, each chromatogram forms an easily identifiable profile...
