...with a clue supplied by a young archaeology enthusiast, Ramskou has discovered the secret of the sun-seeking stones of the ancients. To the ten-year-old son of Jorgen Jensen, chief navigator of the Scandinavian Airlines System, the instrument described in Skalk sounded much like the twilight compass used by his father on flights at high latitudes, where the magnetic compass is unreliable. The twilight compass is equipped with a Polaroid filter that enables a navigator to locate the position of the sun-even when it is behind clouds or below the horizon-by the sunlight polarized...
Flight test. Intrigued by his son's observation, Jensen passed it on to Ramskou, who immediately recognized its scientific implication. Enlisting the aid of Denmark's royal-court jeweler, the archaeologist collected minerals found in Scandinavia whose molecules are all aligned parallel to each other, just as the crystals are in a Polaroid filter. Ramskou found that one of these minerals, a transparent crystal called cordierite, turned from yellow to dark blue whenever its natural molecular alignment was held at right angles to the plane of polarized light from the sun. Thus, he reasoned, a Viking could have...

...Oxford: the 113th Oxford-Cambridge boat race, by an easy 3¼ lengths on London's Thames River. With California's Jonathan Jensen rowing No. 4 and Connecticut's John Bockstoce in the bow, the Dark Blue eight swept into the lead at the start, maintained a steady beat of 34 strokes per min., and stayed in front for the full 4 miles...
...Lions, using an I-formaiton behind fullback Arne Jensen (215), were running successfully up the middle against Princeton and even Colgate (seven fumbles definitely hurt matters against Colgate). At one point against Colgate, Jensen carried the ball seven consecutive times up the middle for consistent five-yard gains--until he finally fumbled...
