...National Urban League's Whitney Young Jr., and Martin Luther King Jr. Harlem's Adam Clayton Powell, honorary co-chairman of the conference, decided to keep on fishing in Bimini. Conference leaders discouraged delegates from talking to reporters; one white newsman was pitched out of a ground-floor window and four others were roughed up when a gang of young Negro militants barged into a press conference screaming: "Get the Whitey press...
Work on the underpass is now about 25 per cent complete--and slightly behind schedule. One factor slowing down construction is this summer's unusually heavy rainfall. The underpass is still nothing more than a gigantic hole in the ground and the rainwater it collects has made construction in some spots very difficult, if not impossible...
...even more serious loss for the Russians was the half-dozen SAM ground-to-air missiles that, along with their computers, guidance equipment and fueling systems, fell into Israeli hands at an Egyptian base near the Suez Canal. Though the U.S. has already deduced a great deal about SAM's capabilities (it can fly at 2,600 m.p.h. and reach 60,000 feet) and limitations (it cannot execute sharp turns) from intelligence reports and from its performance in North Viet Nam, close study of the Sinai SAMs will give scientists invaluable information. Israel has already passed...
...donated by alumni with more generosity than taste, housed in a dusty wing of the fine-arts building. Today college museums across the country aspire both to finer art and glossier quarters. In April, the University of Michigan reopened a renovated $750,000 museum, and Brown will soon break ground for a new $2,000,000 art building. Other schools that, since 1958, have opened new buildings or added to old ones include North Carolina, Wellesley, Pomona, Brandeis, Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska, Texas, Dartmouth and New Mexico...
...Second Synch. The basic element in the system is electronic measurement of the distance between aircraft, each of which must carry an atomic timepiece synchronized to a network of ground-based master clocks. In places where master-clock stations are not feasible, such as remote ocean areas, one plane would take over as the master clock, and all other planes in the sector would synchronize with it. The whole system would operate at dazzling speed: 196 converging aircraft, all of whose clocks were completely unsynchronized, could sort themselves out and synchronize in 30 seconds...
