Cohen was almost even with Manhattan's Lou Knight, the heat's eventual winner, when he tripped and fell at the last hurdle. In spite of this mishap, Cohen picked himself up and finished second, but his time was too slow to qualify for the finals...
...thing, the weather has been bad, i.e., good.* There was an acute snow shortage. Days of bright sunshine softened the ski runs. Slush filled Cortina's streets. Flags of competing nations hung limp in the warm air. As the bobsled run slowly spoiled in the heat, national arguments developed over who should get a chance to practice. Italian Alpine troops were standing by to cart snow from colder slopes...
...Washington, D.C., Dave Sime, Duke sophomore, ran 100 yds. in 9.5 sec. to break the American indoor mark. At the Women's National A.A.U. indoor championships, smooth-striding Tennessee A. & I. Sprinter Isabelle Daniels broke the world's 50-yd.-dash record with a 5.8-sec. qualifying heat...
...upper air generates temperatures that will vaporize any known substance. The dense lower air is even worse, and it smacks the re-entry body with jarring deceleration forces 20 times gravity. The situation is complicated by the fact that the air sweeping past the missile is ionized by high heat. This absorbs some energy, but creates corrosive particles. It is also responsible for the meteor-like trail...
...ICBM-men are confident that these problems can be licked, but they do not say just how. One possibility is to make the missile slow down as much as possible when it is in the thin upper air, where the heating effect is still moderate. When it hits thick air, it will therefore be moving more slowly and have a better chance of getting through to the target. Another method, probably the most important one, is to keep heat from penetrating more than the skin of the missile. A third possibility, exploding the warhead while many miles above the surface...
