...machine at hand, Boss Clements' own future looks bleak: during the campaign Happy repeatedly swore to end Clements' career in Washington if he won the governorship. But in the flush of victory last week, Happy took it all back. "That was all made in the heat of the campaign," he said. Hardly anyone-least of all Earle Clements-believed...
...TIME, July 25). Present atomic reactors all use the fission process: splitting nuclei of the heavier atoms, e.g., uranium or plutonium, to produce a controllable reaction. But fusion, used solely in the H-bomb, involves binding the nuclei of far more plentiful, lighter atoms (deuterium, lithium, etc.) under tremendous heat to produce an explosion...
...only an exploding A-bomb has provided enough heat to trigger off fusion. But it is theoretically possible. Bhabha suggested, that other far less violent triggers can be fashioned to produce fusion without explosions. For example, high-voltage linear accelerators have been designed to propel particles at high speeds through electrical fields to give them high energy but little heat effect; a low-voltage, high-current accelerator shooting more particles at lower speeds might supply the few millions of degrees required for fusion. Even ordinary TNT "shaped charge" explosions might do the triggering. Already, said Bhabha. Indian theoretical scientists were...
...Goshen, N.Y., in harness racing's Kentucky Derby, Scott Frost, a three-year-old California bay colt, took the $85,000 Hambletonian. Time for final heat: 2 min. 3/5 sec., only 3/5 sec. slower than the record set by the winner's sire, Hoot...
...promising avenue of all, current-producing reactors are already running in the U.S., Britain and Russia. At West Milton, N.Y., a reactor is feeding the first power-a token amount-into commercial use. The day is not distant when atomic power will be cheap enough and abundant enough to heat whole cities...
