...Hula-Hoop. "An engineer's dream come true," exulted NASA Boss James Fletcher. He had every reason to be proud. Pioneer had not only survived its encounter with electron intensities 1,000,000 times greater than those in the earth's own radiation belts but continued to radio back data after the historic encounter. Indeed, if Pioneer's tiny nu clear power packs and instruments keep functioning, the spacecraft's signals may well be received on earth until it reaches the orbit of the planet Uranus about 14 years from now. What is more, Pioneer...
...will require weeks and even months of detailed analysis, but project scientists last week had already made some preliminary conclusions. For one thing, Jupiter's magnetic field-only about ten times stronger than the earth's-follows what the scientists variously dubbed a "Saturn ring" and "Hula-Hoop" model; that is, the lines of magnetic force seem to stretch outward near the equator but are more rounded at the poles. The average temperature of Jupiter's cloud tops is somewhat above 200°F. with no apparent variations on the day and night sides; this fact tends...
...Sanders found out about Cambridge basketball apathy. An estimated 1100 fans gave Satch about 20 seconds of half-hearted welcoming applause that got drowned out by the announcer's microphone. In the Crimson's season opener two weeks ago at UMass, Sanders got two standing ovations from over 4000 hoop followers. I guess he could find some solace in the pre-game dinner President Bok held in honor of the new coaching staff and their families...
...typical Harvard jock "what's been going on that's big in sports a Harvard this Spring" and the average response will be something like "Satch Sanders is the hew hoop coach, Don Gambril has deserted to Alabama, Princeton broke the varsity lightweight crew's winning streak, and the varsity heavyweights lost the Sprints again this year to Northeastern...
...Davis Jr. But it wasn't all fisticuffs and show biz. Ali was also promoting his new toy Oop-fli (a ring spun off two sticks and caught by an opponent's two sticks), which he hopes will earn him a tidy bundle. Another Frisbee or Hula-Hoop it isn't, but then Muhammad Ali is not the champion any longer, either...
