Around the Horn. The papers' difficulties go deeper than Bert Powers. At a time when city dailies are fast dwindling, New York still has six of them-more than any other city in the U.S. But suburban papers, newsmagazines and radio and television have cut deeply into the circulation of all but the News and Times. From 1955 to 1964, the circulation of the Trib dropped from 340,462 to 307,674, the Journal sagged from 653,291 to 538,057, the Telegram from 570,275 to 403,340, the Post from 399,886 to 329,523; in that...
...decision on a merger could come as early as this summer. "They're really driving for a solution," says a top newspaper union official. "They've gone around the horn on all possibilities." Says Scripps-Howard President Jack R. Howard: "To this end, there will be more, rather than fewer talks...
Scientists Arno A. Penzias and Robert W. Wilson of Bell Telephone Laboratories were determined to account for all the radio energy that finds its way into the 20-ft. horn antennas at Holmdel, N.J., that Bell built for talking to the Telstar communication satellite. At the microwave frequency the horn was tuned to, 4080 megacycles, radio waves from the stars and galaxies were all but undetectable, and tests with a ground transmitter proved that waves from the earth's surface could be disregarded. Still, signals were coming in. What was their origin...
...Directions. Penzias and Wilson used an extremely sensitive receiver, part of it cooled by liquid helium to eliminate most of the radio noise that is generated internally by electronic gear. They rebuilt the horn meticulously, cleaned and aligned its joints, covered its seams smoothly with aluminum tape to reduce noise coming from imperfections. They made allowance for radio waves from the earth's atmosphere. After all that, the horn continued to catch a steady radio whisper that did not vary by day or night, winter or summer. It seemed to come from all directions with equal intensity...
...permeate the universe and washed weakly against the galaxies-one of which is the Milky Way to which the solar system belongs. The weakened radiation, says Professor Dicke, may well be what has been detected-7 bil lion years after the bang-as micro waves whispering m the Holmdel horn...
