...structure of the planets, including the earth, can be understood best by studying the behavior of matter under very high pressure. Such is the theory of Astrophysicist William Henderson Ramsey of Britain's University of Manchester. The simplest example is Jupiter, which Ramsey thinks is made largely of hydrogen. Near the surface where pressure is low, the hydrogen is in gaseous form. Deeper down it turns into a nonmetallic solid. It is still too light to account for the density of Jupiter's interior...
...tanker-refueling techniques for long-range raids (equaling round trips from Siberia to Los Angeles). They have been supplied with electronic bombsights, two new types of 600-m.p.h. jet bombers (the T-37 and T-39, resembling respectively the U.S. 6-52 and 6-47), and probably with hydrogen bombs...
...Command relies on the twin-engine Canberra, now officially classed as a "medium bomber." British designs are often first-rate, but British production is sluggish. The major difficulty is that the British Cabinet is still unsure how best to apportion its defense funds to meet the facts of the Hydrogen Age. "The H-bomb," confessed Sir Winston Churchill last month, "has fundamentally altered the entire problem of defense . . . Considerations founded even upon the atom bomb have become obsolescent, almost old-fashioned...
...interested, says Martin, or because they do not agree with him. He claims that many of them are privately on his side, but cannot support him publicly. He is sure that the world's weather bureaus, for instance, have been told by their governments to keep out of hydrogen discussions. The best he has got so far is a carefully worded joint statement by Henri Longchambon, France's Under Secretary of State for Scientific...
...short, unexcited paper presented to the French Academy of Sciences has provoked a storm of foreboding in the French press and public. Written by physicist Charles-Noel Martin and sponsored by the Nobel Prizewinning Prince Louis de Broglie, it is entitled "On the Cumulative Effects of Thermonuclear [Hydrogen] Explosions on the Surface of the Globe...
