...would appear that after taht avalanche had occurred, and Playsko had miraculously escaped without being buried, the handicap of his inexperience immediately became apparent. In descending the mountain for help he passed by no less than three emergency telephones, two first aid caches containing blankets and chemical heat pads, and the Tuckerman Ravine ski Shelter which, although unoccupied at the present time, is available for climbers in distress. The final irony of fate is that he dies just a few yards beyond the Spur Cabin of the Harvard Mountaineering Club where people were staying at that time...
McCabe suggested that the Republicans may be using the bill to "take the heat off things," He doesn't mind if they "let off steam--it's better than their doing something serious"--but this has deeper implications at this time. "I wish Eisenhower had not made his statement," McCabe said...
Members of the University Mountaineering Club blamed Parysko's death on inexperience. They said that in his panic to get help after the snowslide, he passed by at least three emergency telephones, two first aid caches containing blankets and chemical heat pads, and the Tuckerman Ravino Ski Sholter, which, although unoccupied at the present time, is available for climbers in distress...
When the pilot has slowed to about Mach 1 below 100,000 ft., he needs protection not from heat but from cold. He also needs oxygen, and when his low-altitude parachute has opened and he has settled safely to earth, he may need a compass, map, food and other survival supplies. He will not be easy to find: his initial speed will have carried him 250 miles horizontally from the point where he left his airplane...
Volcanos, enthusiastically cited by more imaginative geologists as the cause of glaciers, can actually produce enough dust to blot out much of the sun's radiant heat. Krakatoa's ash, sent sky high in 1833, cut 10 percent of France's sunlight for three years. But reductions in radiant energy cool the equator more than the poles, cutting temperature differences which create storms. Only an increase of the sun's general heating power will yield more snow, the sole food of glaciers. Yet if the sun's heat increases too much, the glaciers will melt...
