...Since the object of those who operate the source is to find a newly evolved society, we may presume that the channel used will be one that places a minimum burden of frequency and angular discrimination on the detector . . . The wide radio band from, say 1 mc to 10,000 mc, remains as the rational choice. For indisputable identification as artificial, one signal might contain, for example, a sequence of small prime numbers of pulses, or simple arithmetical sums...

The signal stopped entirely for about four minutes. This break might have indicated the moment when Lunik III briefly dipped behind the edge of the moon, but the Jodrell Bank scientists could not be sure whether it passed ahead, behind or under the moon. Since the far side of the moon was mostly in sunlight, Lunik may have photographed...

...touring U.S. all-star team was built around Backstroke Flash Frank Mc-Kinney of Indiana University, but the Japanese were waiting in Tokyo with some swimmers of their own.

At a second meet, Yamanaka lowered the 400-meter record by 2.4 sec. to 4:16.6, then anchored the 800-meter relay team as it broke its own world record by 2.9 sec. with a startling...
