Tiny New Hampshire (pop. 536,000) is normally little more than a speck on the politicians' map of the U.S. It will send numerically unimportant delegations to the national political conventions; 14 to the Republican, eight to the Democratic. But last week politicians and pundits from coast to coast were carefully adjusting their fine tuning to get a good, 21-in. view of what is going on there.

With Northwest's cross-country flights to Seattle-and its overseas arms to Honolulu and to Japan, Okinawa, Korea, Formosa and the Philippines-that pattern should change (see map).

...Observations will also be made at Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, outside "the path of totality." If the instruments prove sensitive enough even in a partial eclipse, the Air Force may face a vast new job of map making. And since guidance systems for intercontinental rockets already threaten to become more accurate than present charts of large sections of the world, new maps are fast becoming a necessity...
...Theory. While the Air Force goes about its map making, Astronomer George Van Biesbroeck will be busy at Khartoum in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, checking up on Einstein's theory. During the three minutes of total eclipse, he will aim his telescope at the faint star field ordinarily blotted out by the sun's brilliance...
