Scientists have been reasonably certain for years that the electrons and protons in the outer belt come from the solar wind, a stream of charged particles emitted continuously from the sun at velocities varying from 670,000 to 1,600,000 m.p.h. But at these speeds, which are relatively low in the world of high energy physics, the electrons and protons are traveling too slowly to penetrate through the earth's magnetic field and into the outer belt; by all rights, they should bounce off the magnetic lines of force and be deflected back into space...
...newcomers began concentrating on the Mark 20, a prototype four-seater that Mooney (who soon left to join Lockheed Aircraft) had recently designed. The plane was noisy, but its wooden-wing construction enabled Rachal to price it low; by 1959, the company was turning out 180 of the 150-m.p.h. craft a year. The following year, Rachal switched to an all-metal plane, the single-engine Mark 21. The rakishly styled plane grew more popular with the addition in 1964 of a gyro-driven control system that automatically keeps the plane on course without constant pilot corrections...
Electric Cars. Mooney's present 4.8% share of the light-aircraft market comes on the strength of three models, all of them relatively low-cost ($18,430 to $23,345) offshoots of the Mark 21. Encouraged by the company's rapid growth-over the past five years, annual sales have almost tripled, to $15.2 million-Rachal merged last month with Alon, Inc., a Kansas manufacturer of training aircraft. Moving into the twin-engine field, he has contracted to build a 300-m.p.h. turboprop executive plane designed by Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. And next year...
Operatic impresarios have attributed the drop in Wagner's popularity to the absence of full-blast singers, but Von Karajan's achievement suggests a happy solution to the problem. His low-keyed approach encourages performers to sing Wagner without strain. And why not? After all, he says, "what is forte? There is no absolute value. We try to make music-drama, not opera...
Many student applicants express dismay either with the recruiter or with the methods he uses in promoting his company. In a controlled post-interview rating session at the University of Michigan, students tended to give a low rating to interviews in which (1) the recruiter was too much of a machine, working by rote; (2) he wasted the student's time by not being businesslike...
