...frigid ice sheet 7 miles from Thule, Greenland, last week, members of an Air Force recovery team continued their hunt for H-bomb parts and contaminated debris scattered by the crash of a B-52 SAC bomber last month. Searchers armed with scintillation counters came upon chunks of wreckage that caused their instruments to go off scale at their maximum 2 million counts-per-minute rate-indicating a level that was above the highest count recorded at the Palomares, Spain, crash site in 1966. To minimize the threat that the radiation poses to plant and animal life, the recovery operation...
...determine if any of the plutonium-uranium 235 trigger or contaminated wreckage melted into-or even through-the 9-ft.-thick ice in the fire that followed the crash, technicians have taken ice-core samples that will be an alyzed for radioactivity in U.S. and Danish labs. If it is determined that any substantial amount of hot debris penetrated the ice and sank to the bottom of Baffin Bay, 800 ft. below, deep-diving submersibles (TIME, Jan. 19) may be called in to recover it, just as they were in the Palomares crash...

Since 1948, U.S. skaters have brought home no fewer than six gold, four silver, five bronze medals. This year's team, chosen at the national championship in Philadelphia last week, includes at least three medal contenders, plus the nation's single odds-on favorite at Grenoble...
