...Quick Kick. When crew members landed at Friendship their main impression of their speed-for-distance endurance flight was that their bottoms were terribly numb. To the U.S. and the world it meant far more than that: it was a timely reminder that the B-52 can reach (with hydrogen-bomb payloads) and return from the Soviet Union at jet speed if the need should arise...
...have a 140-ft. paraboloid antenna (second in size only to the 250-ft. antenna being constructed in England) which should allow it to pick up spatial wave lengths never before recorded. Specifically, the astronomers hope that they will be able to "see through" the great drifting clouds of hydrogen, which have previously occupied their attention, to more interesting clouds of the deuterium atom (heavy hydrogen...
Fats are divided into two main groups; most oils from vegetables, fish and marine mammals are "unsaturated," i.e., their molecular structure is such that there is room for some extra hydrogen atoms. Most animal fats (including butter and egg yolks) are "saturated." It is Bronte-Stewart's and Jolliffe's theory that saturated fats help raise cholesterol levels while unsaturated fats help lower them...
...saturated to unsaturated fats has increased still more sharply. This is because unsaturated fats (corn, cottonseed and peanut oils and some olive oils) are usually liquid at room temperature, so they are messier than the solid saturated fats (lard, suet, butter). As a result, manufacturers of shortening usually hydrogenate their unsaturated fats-by adding a couple of hydrogen atoms under heat and pressure. This turns part of the unsaturated fats into saturated fats, which look better, smell better and keep better...
Outside of the field of legislation, the problem of controlling the hydrogen bomb is one of over whelming importance. Now that the bitterness of campaign oratory is done, the Chief Executive has a moral responsibility to America's welfare to suspend nuclear test explosions until an adequate study of the effects of radioactive material on future generations can be made...
