...Gulf, where the Navy maintains a little-heralded and could-be-boosted force of one seaplane tender and two destroyers. He keeps up a drumfire of "sitreps"-situation reports-to Admiral Burke, a flow of erudite radio dispatches to Righthand Man Cat Brown, usually kicked off in crisis' heat with a "Dear Cat," signed "with warm regards...
...graciously appointed yachting cruise with his family to visit his old friend Tito at the marshal's isle of Brioni in the blue Adriatic. In that way, Colonel Gamal Abdel Nasser, President of Egypt, President and founder of the New United Arab Republic, could escape the heat built up by his subversive doings in Lebanon. And he could also pursue his studies at Tito's knee in the perilous and racking business of how to run a revolution with Moscow's approbation and material help-but without letting the Russians take him over. After lolling...
...evangelists surpassed the zeal of John Wesley and his disciples when they officially founded "The Yearly Corporation of the People Called Methodists" in 1784. Last week the zeal seemed to be guttering low. As 650 delegates met in a heat wave at Newcastle-on-Tyne, even their lustiest singing of The Living Church ("And are we yet alive") could not hide their mood. By the delegates' own gloomy account, the Methodist Church in Britain is sick...
Light Molecules. The simplest kind of atomic engine uses a nuclear reactor to heat a gaseous propellant and shoot it out of a nozzle. Its chief advantage over chemical rocket engines: its propellant can be liquid hydrogen, whose molecules are light and therefore move faster at a given temperature. The best possible chemical combination (hydrogen and ozone), burning at 5,000° F. and 500 lbs.-per-sq.-in. chamber pressure, gives an exhaust velocity of 13,000 ft. per sec. A nuclear rocket, using hydrogen at the same pressure and only 3,000° F., shoots...
...defying the oracle of Delphi. Of Shakespeare's three great studies of jealousy--Leontes, Othello, and Ford--this is the most realistic. Leontes is a neurotic with high blood pressure and fits of paranoia. Whereas Othello's jealousy builds up in a steady crescendo, Leontes' bursts out in white heat at the outset and, feeding on itself, stays at the same level...
