...from Washington settlement houses. Lyndon joined them for a puppet show in the East Room, was greeted by one boy with an airy "Hi, Johnson"; later, he escorted them to the Blue Room to see an 18-ft. balsam fir Christmas tree, thence to the State Dining Room for ice cream and eggnog...
...full speed, Bobby Hull rocketed down the rink. At the blue line, a Boston defenseman unlimbered a vicious body check. Almost casually, Hull bounced the defenseman aside, leaned forward, and flicked the puck straight into the Boston net. The red light flashed, the buzzer rang; Hull skated off the ice, to a standing ovation from the Chicago Stadium fans. He had scored his second goal of the night, the 250th of his N.H.L. career-and the Black Hawks had beaten the Bruins...
...combining 120 separate spectroscopic measurements, Dr. Strong and his assistants got a smooth curve showing how strongly the Venusian clouds reflect different wave lengths of solar infrared. This curve matched almost perfectly the reflection spectrum of an ice-crystal cloud observed in the laboratory. It was wholly different from the curves of dust, liquid carbon dioxide, liquid formaldehyde and the other noxious substances that are generally considered to be the content of Venusian clouds...
...Strong also doubts the theory that the carbon dioxide known to be present in the atmosphere of Venus must trap sunlight by a "greenhouse effect" and necessarily make the surface too hot for living organisms. The ice crystals in the clouds, he believes, are so highly reflective that they bounce much of the sun's energy back into space before it gets anywhere near the planet's surface. Thus layers of the Venusian atmosphere may be comparatively cool, perhaps as cool as similar layers on the Earth...
...black and white, with a little red occasionally, and their line varies between that of torn paper and real hard-edge. Her inspiration is nature (in which she differs from many men abstractionists) and in this case was the snow fields of Alaska. Yet the small piece "Rock and Ice" succeeds in recalling winter harshness while existing on its own as a non-objective work...
