...Pierre Salinger disclosed Kennedy's Dallas date: Nov. 22. On the night of Thursday, Nov. 21, Oswald stayed at the Paine house in Irving-a departure from his routine of weekend visits. He went to bed early. Next morning the Dallas Morning News published a map showing the route of the presidential motorcade. On the same morning, Oswald got a ride to work with a neighbor, Wesley Frazier. Oswald was carrying a long package, wrapped in brown paper, told Frazier that it contained window shades...
...driven half the night, hiked five miles through the wilderness from the highway. Now for a snooze, and then on with the great bear hunt. A year before, in the same remote Adirondack clearing, he had come across black bear tracks, marked the spot carefully on a map. Came the dawn. Bergin yawned, stretched, looked around-to see twelve equally expectant faces peering curiously at him from behind the trees. Without a word, he rolled up his sleeping bag, hiked the five miles to the highway, drove half the day back to Pelham. "Where's the bear?" asked...
Later in the summer the new antenna was used to measure the effective temperatures of someof the planets and to map the center of our galaxy at 5,000 megacycles. Operations ended in September, however, because rain water leaked into the equipment at the focus of the giant dish, and caused the receiver to mal-function. Once this equipment is made watertight, work at the station should proceed rapidly. Dr. Maxwells hopes to make extensive studies of individual sources of celestial radiation. With over 100 sources to be examined, the Harvard Radio Astronomy Station will not be idle during...
...ambition. But the root cause was Ben Bella's drive toward absolute power at the expense of his onetime, rebel comrades in Algeria's struggle for independence. Stronghold of the revolt was fabled Kabylia, a sweep of razor-spined mountains and deep gorges east of Algiers (see map). Populated by 1,000,000 fiercely independent Berbers who call themselves imazighen (free men), Kabylia was overrun by successive invasions of Arabs, Romans, Vandals, Spaniards, Turks, and finally the French -but it has never been totally subdued. No Algerians fought more heroically in the 1954-62 guerrilla war against France...
Eyes on the Sea. Litton has its share of space projects: it made the first space chamber and spacesuit, is making a relief map of the moon so that astronauts will know what they are in for, has created a wind tunnel that simulates the problems of re-entry by speeding up gases. But Thornton is convinced that "there isn't room in space for all the companies trying to get there," has turned the company's eyes downward into the sea. Ingalls has five contracts worth $145 million to build the Navy's new nuclear-powered...
