...most depressed region in the college survey was the South, where salaries lag as much as 20 per cent behind comparable institutions in the rest of the world...
...correctly observes that classifying a scientific discovery will not prevent its subsequent discovery by the Russians; it merely creates a small time lag between our advance and theirs. The advantage gained is generally too small to be significant, and arms race "gaps" (the bomber gap, the missile gap, the test gap) are political trump...
Inefficiency or malpractice in the implementation of a civil defense program could create "widespread disillusionment with democratic government," the conference warned. Discrepancies between advanced technology and current procedures, or a time lag in transmitting improvements to local groups, as well as outright corruption, could produce dissatisfaction and mistrust...
...over 100,000 ft. into the air and saturating them with more than 200 species of radioactive particles. Depending on wind and other conditions, these particles would fall back in lethal quantities over an area extending perhaps 150 miles from ground zero. As a rough rule of thumb, lag between the bomb's flash and the beginning of fallout might be figured at one minute for each quarter-mile from ground zero; thus, at 30 miles it would be two hours...
...Other rain peaks came at about the same interval after other meteor showers. The explanation, said Bowen, was clear: meteor showers seed the top of the atmosphere with microscopic dust particles that make clouds form droplets big enough to fall to the ground as rain. The 30-day lag between the meteor showers and the rain, said Bowen, is accounted for by the time it takes the dust to filter to cloud level from the top of the atmosphere...
