...dead seriousness of the plot explained the rough repression-by-execution that followed. The first 20 or so killings took place so soon after the shooting that they could be blamed on the heat of the battle. But the last score were formal executions, carried out mostly against insurgent military men. The condemned, blindfolded, stood against the wall late at night in barracks' squares or the yard of the National Penitentiary, and eight-man volunteer firing squads (four with live ammunition, four with blanks) shot them...
...favorite star's very own voice. The first issue, with 300,000 copies already run off, will hit the newsstands early next month carrying recorded interviews with Tony Curtis and Jane Powell. For fans who can read, Hear also offers such written staples as "Who Put the Heat on Tab Hunter?" and "The Tragedy of Ava Gardner." The new magazine is the brain child of two Hollywood pressagents, gets its disks from Rainbo Records, whose president, Jack Brown, ran a World War II experimental project for the U.S. Navy to combat mosquito pollution by wooing the insects with recorded...
...centuries India's Damodar River, meandering 340 miles through the northwestern hills to the sea, has been known as the "River of Sorrow." A plaything of the seasons, in summer's 120° heat the river dried to a trickle in a parched gulley. But in the monsoon, it became a raging torrent, scourging the Damodar Valley with malarial, crop-destroying floods. Last week the fickle Damodar could bear a new name: the River of Promise. Across its path stood three mighty dams, shunting water into irrigation ditches that will eventually reclaim 1,026,000 acres of wasteland...
...create a "small star" that reacts at enormous temperature without touching anything material is to confine the gases in a "magnetic bottle." Teller explained that the gases would be completely ionized by the heat. All the particles in them would have electric charges, and would be strongly influenced by a magnetic field. If the field could be made strong enough, the particles would spiral tightly in it, keeping away from vulnerable walls of the material container...
There are today at least eight feasible techniques for generating reactor heat convertible into electricity, e.g., pressurized water, sodium-graphite, boiling water, fast breeder. Britain, in sore need of power, is concentrating on one proved but cumbersome method (using a gas coolant), which is fast becoming obsolescent; Russia plans seven reactors; the U.S.. however, is actively planning to build and operate all eight types, in addition is considering at least two others. This means that the U.S. will lag in actual atomic-power output; it should also mean that the U.S. will emerge with the best method. A recent...
