...information's four counts claimed that Miss Bieberman had transmitted LSD across state lines without adequate direction for its use or adequate warnings of its hazard to health. The information also charged that she had failed to get the license required for interstate transportation...
...other practical way of achieving nuclear-powered flight in the near future. Though scientists and engineers have worked on plans for nuclear airplanes for more than a decade, they have yet to get off the drawing boards-let alone into the air. The big problems are weight and radiation hazard. A reactor big enough to power a 335,000-lb. 707 jet, for example, would require 225,000 Ibs. of radiation shielding to protect passengers-considerably more than the plane could lift. In the event of a crash, the high impact speed of the plane would almost certainly shatter...
...accident last Monday at the intersection of Memorial Drive and Western Avenue resulted from a traffic hazard that ought to have been corrected long ago. Officials of the Metropolitan police have complain some time that the traffic signals at this corner and at the intersection of Memorial and River Street are located in a "blind Since the lights are raised only about feet above the ground, drivers approaching the corner cannot see whether the signal is red, green or yellow until they...
...first drive sailed into a water hazard. The sportsman then proceeded to tee up a new ball, whack it onto the green, and three-putt the par-three hole. Next he shot a seven in a par-four situation and a six on another par-four hole, winding up with a very inefficient seven-over-par. Too bad for General Francisco Franco, 73, who commands quite a few things in Spain, but not the golf courses. As he left the new links at Sotogrande near Gibraltar, Franco asserted himself. The two-hole course on his estate outside Madrid obviously wasn...
Strange Lines. In 1962, a group of radio astronomers led by Cyril Hazard tried a subtle tactic in an effort to pinpoint a strong radio source that searchers with optical telescopes could not identify. Pointing the Parkes, Australia, 210-ft. dish antenna toward the source, known only as 3C 273,* Hazard's group recorded the precise time that its signals were eclipsed, or blotted out, by the sharp leading edge of the passing moon and the time when they reappeared from behind its trailing rim. Because the position of the moon can be accurately calculated for any given time...
