...been attained, they sent a signal that told the reflector mechanism to reduce neutron leakage. Slowly the nuclear reaction started; heat built up in the core, and a magnetic pump circulated the metallic coolant at 1020°F. through tubes in the skin of the support structure. The inner ends of 2880 pellets of a germanium-silicon material were heated while their outer ends were kept comparatively cool by heat radiation into space. The germanium-silicon combination is "thermoelectric," it changes heat to electricity, and the difference between the two temperatures caused a faint current to flow. That current added...
Theologically speaking, faith is a gift of God. But in the cold-eyed view of the trained psychiatrist, religious belief may also be a cover-up for deep inner anxiety and a cause of neurosis. Dr. Leon Salzman, professor of clinical psychiatry at Georgetown University medical school, argues that it is often difficult "to determine where religion ends and disease begins." At the annual meeting in Washington of the Academy of Religion and Mental Health, a number of psychiatrists and clergymen tried to define the tenuous borderline between healthy and neurotic faith...
...chief Soviet space designer, a mysterious figure who is never identified, described his ship sketchily. To get out into space, he said, Leonov used an air lock, a chamber with airtight doors at both ends. When he crawled into it, Comrade Belyayev sealed the inner door tight, and Leonov presumably tested his space suit to see that it was working properly; then he cautiously loosened the outer door. Though it must have been rehearsed on earth over and over again, this was surely a moment of hideous crisis...
Getting Some Action. Swiftly the two battalions deployed to security positions at and around Danang. Some dug in near the Marine helicopter flight line. Others pitched their two-man pup tents at the ends of Danang's 10,000-ft. runway to reinforce the inner perimeter defense. Three companies set out for the grassy hills overlooking the base, preceded by Marine engineers with a bulldozer to flatten one of the hilltops for the marines' Hawk missiles. So steep were the ridges on one of the hills that some men had to be positioned there by helicopter...
...Mike Nichols touch, always deft, daft and droll, flicks The Odd Couple along at a dervish's pace. But it is Neil Simon's comic freshness of vision that provides the inner momentum. Simon rarely tosses a line straight up in the air for an isolated gag; he hits it across a net of personal relationships so that a steady volley of wit builds up out of character and situation. Simon also knows how to prod a cliché off its bed of banality so that it walks toward the brink of logical absurdity. "Who'd send...
