...mine then." says Dallas). Slowly he mastered O'Brien's 180° body-spin delivery. Despite the fact that he was picked as an all-state tackle, Long gave up football his senior year to concentrate on the shot. Says Wolfe: "It was quite a decision to make. It was a question of being just a good shotputter or a great...
...Leafs' late blooming was enough to make Torontonians take a respectful second look at the power of positive thinking. Power of any kind was what the dormant, doormat Leafs conspicuously lacked when George ("Punch") Imlach, 42, took over as general manager at midseason. A former minor-league coach and player, Imlach installed himself as coach, exuded a sunshiny, nonstop optimism, never stopped insisting that the Leafs' only trouble was that everyone (including the players) thought they were...
Once in orbit, the little jets went back into action. To keep the satellite horizontal, they had to make it turn just as fast as it circled the earth: one revolution, one turn. This was done by an infrared scanner, which watched the line of the horizon ahead and released little spurts of gas to keep the satellite's attitude stable. This complicated operation seems to have worked well. As Discoverer II circled the earth, its directional radio signals kept at a steady level. If Discoverer had not been stabilized properly, they would have fluctuated as the satellite wobbled...
...paddle-wheel satellite is designed to make the most of the sun's energy. Its main body will be a 28-in. sphere covered with a thin metal skin. Out of it will protrude four paddlelike surfaces carried on branching supports and arranged in such a way that one of them will always face fairly accurately toward the sun. Both surfaces of the paddles will be covered with a mosaic of cells made of thin sheets of a photoelectric material (probably silicon) that turns sunlight into electricity. The paddles will be folded when the satellite is in the nose...
...smoker himself, Dr. Wynder despairs of persuading 55 million Americans to quit the habit. But to make it safer, he urges manufacturers to use low-tar tobaccos and the most potent filters they can find. For smokers themselves he recommends: try to cut down, inhale less, never smoke down to the butt-not more than half of a king-size cigarette-because 60% of the tar is in the last half...
