...defense of the American Government? any American." At one point, when the Russian government was threatening to kick Oswald out of the country, he slashed a wrist in an abortive suicide attempt. The Soviet government purportedly took pity, allowed Oswald to stay on, got him a job as a metal worker in Minsk, where he met and married Marina Prusakova, then a 19-year-old pharmacist...
Bare Feet. Shastri, who had spent most of the 2½-hour flight with his bare feet propped up on a metal dispatch case as he perused official papers, landed almost on the run. After brief airport ceremonies, he dashed off to a locomotive factory to ask the workers to ignore the general strike and keep the factory open, "whatever happens." Their loudly chorused reply: "It will be kept open...
...first try with an electromagnet. When he found that it was another material - almost certainly brass-all he could do was let the eye heal a little and hope to get at the object later. But there was grave danger that eye fluids would react with the metal and compel removal of the eye. Then Dr. Passmore remembered reading that Dr. Nathaniel Bronson II had begun work in New York on an ultrasound probe to locate foreign bodies in the eye within a millimeter. (X rays have an error range of three to four millimeters, which is considered...
...Metal Insert. The answer to the librarians' plight may lie in an electronic device demonstrated last week in Flint, Mich. Playing the part of a thief, a Flint librarian slipped a library book under his coat, then walked boldly to the exit. There was a loud click as the turnstile locked, then a buzzing noise as the librarian was alerted. Even as the "thief" sheepishly explained that he "forgot" to sign out his book, a patron whose book had been properly checked out strode easily through the same turnstile...
Double Passage. Davis made a Möbius loop out of a strip of nonconducting plastic that had metal foil bonded to both sides to serve as an electrical resistance. He attached wires to the foil on opposite sides of the strip. When he sent electrical pulses through those wires, the current divided, flowed in both directions through the foil, and passed itself twice. Because of the double passage, the inductance was as low as Davis had hoped. He is delighted but still puzzled. The pulses apparently pass right through themselves, and he cannot be sure...
