...sure to improve with time. To do the full job-which may never be needed-37 of them should be in Asia, 24 in North America, six in Europe, seven in Australia, 16 in South America. 16 in Africa, four in Antarctica and 60 on islands (see schematic map with possible locations). In regions where earthquakes are common, the stations should be closer together (625 miles) than in nonseismic areas (1,060 miles...
...final opponent, and the selection committee judged Columbia the gem of the ocean, fit to meet Britain's Sceptre this weekend in the start of the four-out-of-seven series that will be raced alternately over triangular and windward-leeward courses ten miles off Newport, R.I. (see map...

Even if all of them fell into Red hands, the Nationalist bastion of Formosa, about 120 miles to the east, would still be screened by the Pescadores Islands (see map). But the Nationalist garrisons of the offshore islands mock Mao Tse-tung on his very doorstep. (Tatan and Erhtan, with a combined area of 143 acres, lie smack in the mouth of Amoy harbor only 2½ miles from shore.) Moreover, since Formosa itself was under Japanese rule from...
Probing the Deeps. Hidden from the sun, the black bottom is an unimaginably terrifying land of ancient mountain ranges and valleys, somnolent volcanoes, Gargantuan canyons, bottomless chasms (see map)-a land filled with hiding places for a future generation of deeper-diving submarines. Knowledge of this topography as well as of the mysterious currents that flow there will decide the future's underwater wars. Though the seas cover 70% of the earth's surface, oceanographers have carefully mapped only about a third of the world's ocean floor. The Russians have gone full steam on oceanography, have...
...first state subsidy in U.S. history. After two years of diligent consideration, the legislature voted $900,000 to enable the New Haven railroad (first half loss: $4,962,496) to keep its Old Colony line (1957 loss: $2,400,000) running from Boston south along the vacation resorts (see map) for another year...
