Eliot answered back to the Winthrop heavyweight sweep by winning a first and second place in the 177 pound contests. Mike Thomas took down Ormond Hammond in the last five seconds of the final match to win first place. Until that point. Thomas and Hammond had been wrestling...
...more satisfactory system, says Physicist R. Philip Hammond of Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, could be built around large nuclear reactors. In the magazine Nucleonics, Hammond explains that as reactors increase in size, the heat that they produce becomes cheaper and cheaper. Steam generated by a 10 million-kw. reactor costs only one-quarter as much as steam from a 1,000,000-kw. reactor. The necessary uranium fuel is relatively cheap, and most of the cost of running a nuclear reactor involves a variety of other items. But the cost of many of these increases only slightly as the plant...
...million-kw. reactor would produce heat cheaply enough for the sort of seawater distillery Physicist Hammond would like to use. But no such reactor has ever been built or seriously contemplated. The biggest one under construction in the U.S., at Bodega Bay north of San Francisco, will generate slightly more than 1,000,000 kw. of heat. For producing electric power, says Hammond, there is no present need for anything larger. But he is sure that the monsters he has in mind can be constructed without trouble. A 25 million-kw. distilling plant would suck in a river...
...first race set the pattern for the rest of the slaughter. A Crimson 200-yard medley relay team of Wurster, Hammond, French, and Buster left the Huntington quartet in its wake to win in 2:53.3. Then John Quinn ran away with the 200-yd. freestyle in 1:58.3, and John Rich, in his first year of competitive swimming, had little trouble taking the 50-yd. free...
...week, 14-year-olds answer one question after another in high-speed French or Spanish. In senior English, the visitor who hated college Chaucer is delighted to hear raucous laughter as Dudley Fitts translates the "pleyn speken" Prologue. In the science honors (physics-chemistry) course of Edmond G. Hammond Jr., a brilliant young teacher with icy blue eyes, he listens raptly to sneers at "routine thought" and generalizations that are "pretty messy...
