...about the announcement made last week by KMS Industries Inc. of Ann Arbor, Mich. The firm claimed that its scientists had briefly sustained a laser-generated fusion reaction and called its work a "definitive step" toward taming thermonuclear fusion-the same process that produces the explosive power of the hydrogen bomb and the vast heat and radiation...
Possible alternatives to the present oil crisis lie in learning to harness other fossil fuels like coal or such non-fossil fuels as fission, fusion, hydrogen, or solar energy, Meyer said. He added that it is in these directions of research and study that the United States should be moving with a concentrated effort...
Bloody Circle. Few in Russia now dare to publicly support the beleaguered writer, as hundreds have done in the past. Only a dozen brave men could be found to speak up for him in Russia. Among these was Andrei Sakharov, the father of the Soviet hydrogen bomb. With a courage commensurate to Solzhenitsyn's, the physicist told a Swiss journalist that "the spiritual and moral impact of the facts revealed in Gulag will be enormous. Only by becoming conscious of the crimes perpetrated in the recent past can we hope to get out of this bloody circle...
...Brandy Station, Va. A banker and naval-reserve officer who became right-hand man to James V. Forrestal, a Secretary of the Navy under Franklin D. Roosevelt, Strauss was appointed to the AEC in 1946. During a dispute in the scientific community, Strauss backed the development of the hydrogen bomb when it was opposed by J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the Abomb. Strauss prevailed, and in dramatic loyalty hearings in 1954, Oppenheimer lost his security clearance. When President Eisenhower nominated Strauss to be Secretary of Commerce in 1959, the Senate voted 49-46 against his confirmation largely because...
...horizon are schemes to produce synthetic crude oil from coal. Several experiments are under way, of which the F.M.C. Corp.'s pilot plant is farthest along. As in gasification, the process begins by grinding coal into fine particles and then heating them in hot vessels. When hydrogen is added, the coal particles dissolve, becoming both good quality oil and gas. Again, the cost is high. But the interest of both industry and Government in coal is even higher. If all goes well, that dirty, difficult material will once more be the U.S.'s king of fuels...
