Moment of Choice. Election day was warm, clear and calm. Voting was heavier than expected: all candidates had exhorted Frenchmen to do their duty, and Roman Catholic leaders had said it would be less of a sin for Catholics to miss Mass that Sunday than to fail to vote...
...bill made scant effort to dry up excess spending power-the biggest source of inflationary pressure-with heavier excise taxes on consumer goods. It provided only a $1.3 billion boost in excise taxes, v, the $3 billion the Treasury had sought. In boosting income taxes, the committee tailored its formula to favor the lower-income groups, although Treasury Secretary John Snyder had said the biggest boost should be made there. The bill...
Last week's announcement did not mean that the U.S. already has an H-bomb. It more likely meant that an atom bomb has been found feasible as a trigger for the H-bomb, and that possibly some heavier hydrogen atoms had actually been fused in the experiments. If so, that was a big jump ahead in the grim, global atomic race...
This is the explanation. When particles go beyond a certain speed they begin to get heavier. Beyond this point, the faster they go the heavier they get. Although each impulse from the oscillator still accelerates them, the rate of the acceleration falls off, In past years when that happened, the oscillator used to fall out of step. This had physicists stymied until the development of frequency modulation solved their difficulty. Now, when the particles begin to grow heavy as the pick up speed, the timing of the impulses is automatically adjusted...
...Gamow theory collides sharply -with that of British Cosmologists Hoyle and Lyttleton (TIME, Nov. 20), who believe that matter in a constantly expanding universe is being "created" continuously in the form of hydrogen, which gradually turns into heavier elements in the hot hearts of stars. Followers of Gamow agree that the universe is still expanding, as a result of the original explosion of the ylem. What they find harder to explain is why the earth should happen to be at the exact center of the great expansion...
