...down Ho Chi Minh's domain the attackers ranged, cutting rail lines and roads, taking out trains, trucks and barges, bombing missile sites and antiaircraft batteries. Even by the Jovian standards of Operation Rolling Thunder, the code name for the air war against North Viet Nam, it was a spectacular performance: the most devastating six days...
Even if it is for the purpose of attending his first one-man art show, the trip from his home in Pacific Palisades, Calif., to Paris is a long one for a man of 75 to make alone. So Jovian Pornographer Henry Miller (Tropic of Capricorn) will take along a traveling companion-Jazz Singer Hoki Tokuda, 29, who met him at the pingpong table 18 months ago, and will become the fifth Mrs. Miller in time for the journey. Though he is sanguine enough about the marriage, Henry has the yips about his untutored abstract watercolors, which have taken...
...Astronautics and Aeronautics, Aeronautical Engineer Homer Stewart suggests that the gravity of other planets represents a still-untapped source of energy for long-range space flights. Jupiter's gravity, for example, would exert a tremendous pull on a passing spacecraft, accelerating it greatly and deflecting its course. Thus Jovian gravity could be used, in effect, to gain both thrust and a mid-course correction without the expenditure of fuel. Space scientists, like expert billiard players, can precisely determine the amount of acceleration and degree of deflection by careful control of both the velocity and course of the spacecraft...
around the planet, is apparently generated by a powerful radiation belt similar to the Van Allen radiation belt that surrounds the earth. Other Jovian radio waves seem to be generated by gigantic thunderstorms...
...these bursts and developed theories about them. Some thought a giant volcano might be disturbing Jupiter's atmosphere and generating radio waves. Others decided the waves came from the lightning strokes of enormous thunderstorms. But none of these theories is satisfactory to Morris and Berge. Their explanation: the Jovian radio outbursts are caused by Jovian auroras. If Jupiter has a magnetic field, they argue, it must have magnetic poles, just as the earth does. When speeding particles in the Jovian Van Allen belt come near a magnetic pole, some of them plunge too low and hit the outer fringe...
