...generators to help reactivate giant turbines more quickly. Some companies are making plans to install computers programmed to monitor loads and correct "cascading" frequencies of the kind touched off by the Beck blowout. New York's Kennedy International Airport, whose runway lights vanished before the eyes of bewildered jet captains, has put in eight diesel generators that can kick on within twelve seconds...
...paper presented to an American Chemical Society meeting in San Francisco, Jet Propulsion Laboratory Astrophysicist Lewis Kaplan disclosed that spectrograms of the Martian atmosphere, made when the planet was 70 million miles from the earth last year, suggest that Mars has a concentration of hydrogen compounds in its atmosphere 1,000 times greater than the earth's. Those compounds probably include methane derivatives and possibly methane itself-a finding that could be significant because methane, or "marsh gas,"* is produced on earth by anaerobic bacteria, which do not require oxygen to exist. Even if the Martian methane...
...Caltech solely as thinker and M.I.T. solely as doer is out of focus. While M.I.T. draws no less than $126 million of its annual operating budget of $178 million from work for the Defense Department and NASA, Caltech has 181 federal research contracts and operates NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which will spend $242 million this year. Caltech's practical knowledge made JPL a pioneer in tactical missiles, in launching the first U.S. satellite, in making a soft landing on the moon and in taking close-up pictures of the moon and Mars. At the same time, such...
...boom? High demand, basically. To the astonishment of industry experts, who had planned for a 31% upswing this year, domestic consumption is 5% ahead of 1965. Because Americans are driving more cars than ever, gasoline sales are up nearly 4%. Kerosene sales have risen 15%, mostly because of the jet-fuel needs of U.S. airlines and military planes in Viet Nam. To keep refineries supplied, such producing states as Texas and Oklahoma time and again have hiked the limits set on crude-oil pumping...
Mister Buddwing fritters away nearly two hours helping James Garner to identify himself. His name isn't really Buddwing. But soon after he wakes up in Central Park with a blank past, he shoots significant glances at a Budweiser truck (Budd) and a jet plane (wing). Easy. Thus begins, again, the old amnesia plot. Remember? This time around, forget...
