Dipping to dangerously low altitudes, the two-engine Dakota carefully traced the bulges and inlets of the New Guinea coastline. Aboard the plane a weary man and girl spelled each other at the windows with a pair of field glasses. First New York's Governor Nelson Rockefeller, hollow-eyed and haggard after a 10,000-mile emergency flight to New Guinea from Manhattan, peered anxiously down at the mangrove and loraro swamps. Then Daughter Mary Rockefeller Strawbridge reached for the glasses. Together they strained for sight or sign of Mary's twin brother, Michael Clark Rockefeller...
...wall, and through this the nucleic-acid core is injected. Micrographs show whether viruses are basically cubic or helical in structure. They also reveal that viruses may have an exquisitely complex symmetry around as many as five axes, and contain hundreds of submolecules, each of which may have a hollow hexagonal structure. Chemical tests show whether viruses have cores of ribonucleic acid (RNA) or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and whether they have enzymes or fats in their coats...
...rough-cut, developments in the shabby new TV season. With an eye for a good story and a far-ranging curiosity that has roamed from the Far East to the U.S. Far West, Brinkley has made his reports with a quiet and respectful straightforwardness. He has neither the hollow clangor of those doomsaying voices of oldtime radio nor the portentous solemnity of Edward R. Murrow. whose excellent programs were frequently made irritating by the narrator's apparent attempt to be a grand intermediator between the unwashed audience and the unvarnished truth. Brinkley has also resisted the temptation to live...
...ends rather than bad ends. In Un Carbon Dansait, a slum-bred youngster dreams of being another Fred Astaire; Montand manages a brilliant satiric evocation of second-rate Astaire-the outflung white-gloved hands (without the gloves), the staccato rhythms tapped out on a walking stick like a hollow third leg, and the agitated centipede footwork interrupted with dazzling toothpasty smiles. The funniest number casts Montand as a feverish symphony conductor who snaps his baton, his Beethoven concert and his career in two to waltz off with a girl who cares only for waltzes. In sentimental Parisian songs, Montand runs...
Most of the apparatus is hidden ten feet below the ground. A linear accelerator will start the process by firing electrons into orbit inside a 240 ft. diameter doughnut." Attached to the hollow tube are huge electro-magnets which will further speed up the particles in radio frequency pulses. After eight milli-seconds and 10,000 turns, the high-energy electrons will be directed in bursts at targets in the experimental hall...
