Actually, the London ring achieved other goals. In the best planned towns like Harlow, all of Ebeneezer Howard's ideas in Garden Cities of Tomorrow (1902) were finally implemented. Harlow has a surrounding greenbelt, separation of housing and industry inexpensive garden apartments, and a high level of community facilities. Some of the other new towns, however, resemble housing projects more than Howard's ideal city...
...such test, the snooper successfully detected silver ore particles that scientists had "seeded" in the ground at Greenbelt, Md. In another test, near Mineral, Va., the snooper determined that natural deposits of silver in an old zinc-mining area were too small to exploit economically. Geological Survey Physicist Frank Senftle, who headed the group that developed the snooper, believes that commercial models can be available for use as early as this fall, at a cost of between $25,000 and $35,000 per unit...
...Greenbelt, Md., ten miles northeast of Washington, controls all unmanned civilian space vehicles intended to stay this side of the moon. Like all NASA centers, Goddard is a raw-looking and fast-growing place, spreading like a frontier clearing into a forest that formerly belonged to the earthbound Department of Agriculture. Its buildings, with odd antennas sprouting from their roofs, suggest the fearful complexity of the space age. Coaxial cables rear out of the ground and dive into the innards of electronic computers. Owlish young mathematicians wander in forests of electronics, flicking computer switches and managing somehow to look both...
...orbit and when and where to bring him to earth if further trouble developed. Sitting in the Mercury Control Center, Kraft was fed a steady stream of monitored data about the condition of Glenn and the capsule, plus the prediction, cranked out by computers every 1½ sec. from Greenbelt, Md., of where Friendship 7 would land if the flight had to be aborted at any given time. Last November, when the capsule carrying Enos, the space chimp, ran into trouble on the second of three planned orbits, Chris Kraft needed just five seconds to decide to abort the mission...
...Chasanow's life portrays an above-average loyal American citizen." The Navy, Smith said, had been a "little naive" in swallowing everything that poison-tongue informants had said about Chasanow, who had made enemies (as well as scores of friends) in the intense local politics of Greenbelt, Md., where he lives. Said Chasanow: "It seems like I woke up from a bad dream. The sun is shining. The birds are singing. The flowers are blooming...
