...hold that nothing in the universe can ever move faster. The constant (represented by the letter c) appears in his famous equation E=mc², the formula for the conversion of mass into energy, which was grimly proven July 16, 1945 in the first atomic blast at Alamogordo, N. Mex...
...Carson led his New Mexico Volunteers against the still warlike Navajos. Vastly outnumbered by the 10,000 Indians, Carson avoided open battle and waged war by burning crops and homes. The Navajos surrendered. Then their conquerors marched them 300 miles to a desolate encampment at Fort Sumner, N. Mex., where many of them died of hunger and disease. Only after they vowed never to fight again were they permitted to return to a reservation on their former lands.

To run experiments that cannot be done through dense atmosphere, several scientific groups rocketed their instruments as high as 130 miles from Alaska's Poker Flat, White Sands, N. Mex., and East Quoddy, N.S. The moon's shadow raced across Canada at a speed around 2,000 m.p.h., so chasing it at anything below Mach 2 could not be very productive. But one group, headed by Dr. Arthur Cox of the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, took off from Spokane...
