...Indirect Evidence. To substantiate his hunch that this is what happens on Jupiter, Lieut. Colonel Streett (a mechanical-engineer-turned-physicist who heads West Point's new science research laboratory) calculated the effects of high pressures on hydrogen and helium, the basic gases in the Jovian atmosphere. He deduced that if such a combination were subjected to several hundred thousand times earthly atmospheric pressure (14.7 Ibs. per sq. in. at sea level), the hydrogen would begin to solidify first, its density becoming less than that of the remaining gaseous mixture of hydrogen and helium. Physicist Ringermacher, then a Private...
...Soviet lists as identical as possible. They knew that even the slightest disparity would offend Peking and buttress Chinese suspicion that the U.S. and Russia are partners in a conspiracy to keep China economically and militarily weak. At present, Sino-American trade amounts to only about $3.5 million in indirect deals mainly for chemicals and diesel engines.

Though the Israelis publicly voiced reservations, one high official described the plan as "the only remaining exit." Secretary of State Rogers, who apparently felt the same way about it, scheduled a seven-day Middle Eastern tour to explore the possibility of carrying...
