...which is a visceral one, is to say categorically yes" to developing a new bomber. The fact that the Strategic Air Command has now canceled B-52 airborne alert flights-simulated runs on Communist targets, with nuclear bombs aboard-in the wake of the Greenland crash in which four hydrogen bombs were lost, could, however, bring the usefulness of a new manned bomber into question...
...atmosphere may consist largely of red dye material. Because of white clouds of frozen ammonia crystals at the outer fringes of the atmosphere, the red atmosphere is largely invisible from above. But below the red spot, some scientists believe, there might be a giant meteor crater in the solid hydrogen surface of the planet. This crater, the NASA researchers suggest, may form a great vortex in the atmosphere that swirls the red-hued dye up through the cloud cover, thus creating Jupiter's distinctive red spot...
Thus far, the H-bomb's fail-safe systems have not been foiled even by shattering falls from high altitudes, as happened at Palomares. In that accident, two hydrogen bombs split open on impact and spilled plutonium, dusting nearby farms, which had to be tediously decontaminated. The same kind of low-level alpha radiation, officially described as "negligible," was discovered on the icebound bay off northwestern Greenland last week. The U.S. airmen who detected the radioactivity reached the blackened, 500-yd.-long crash site on Eskimo dog sleds, the only means available in the swirling snow and 50-m.p.h...
...years ago, the flash of a fireball last week lit up the desert around Lop Nor in northwestern China. It was the first test since last spring, when a Maoist mushroom cloud proved to the world that the Chinese had succeeded in the summa of atomic arts-building a hydrogen bomb. Bang No. 7 was far, far smaller, probably in the Hiroshima-bomb range of 20 kilotons. But it was no less menacing for being a minibang. Unless it was a partial dud-as Peking's unaccustomed silence, led some to believe-its improved miniaturization indicated that China...
...saliva. Another gas usually ingested in harmless quantities is carbon dioxide, from the bubbles in soft drinks and the soda in Scotch and soda. But the body is also a versatile gas factory. By fermentation and similar processes, it can manufacture an excess of carbon dioxide, as well as hydrogen, methane (all odorless) and hydrogen sulfide (which has an unpleasant odor). At times, excessive production of such gases can be painfully serious...
