Paleontologist Ho's findings have already led him to the conclusion that Pleistocene mammals did not have substantially higher body temperatures-as many scientists believed-to protect them against the cold of the ice...
Thus, he reasons, they should have been able to adapt to the warmer temperatures that heralded the end of the ice age, and probably became extinct for reasons other than climatic changes...
...next to the players of their segments, urging them on) were all Stockhausen disciples who went to Darmstadt specifically to work with him. This year's workshop concerts were also dominated by Stockhausen creations, especially Microphonie I, in which rubber suction cups, an electric massager, ice-cube tongs and wineglasses were scraped against a huge gong, while the resulting sounds were processed by two microphones, two electronic filters and a potentiometer...
...riot control may be "instant banana peel," a powdery chemical introduced last week by Fort Worth's Western Co. of North America. Sprayed on the street and hosed with water, the chemical, which goes under the trade name "Rio-Trol," produces a surface ten times as slick as ice-and ten times as hard for rioters to walk on. Still in the early stage of experimentation by at least one company is a tranquilizer dart-a kind of instant Miltown-that could be fired from a distance, yet reduce any suspect to euphoric nonviolence...
Bell's ACLG permits landings on the most rudimentary runways and also on ice, water, sand, swampland, and terrain dotted with obstacles, such as rocks half the height of the inflatable bag. Deflated in flight, the ACLG hugs the bottom of the aircraft without causing aerodynamic drag. "We consider the ACLG a complete technological breakthrough in landing systems," says David Perez, civilian project officer in the Flight Dynamics Laboratory at Wright-Patterson A.F.B., Dayton. And so last year, the Air Force awarded Bell a $99,000 contract for wind-tunnel tests of the ACLG. Now Bell...
