...Most Talented. Since India produces only 1,800,000 tons of ingot steel a year, the government must use up huge chunks of its foreign reserves to import the steel the country needs. Hoping to quadruple production by 1961, India has brought in the services of four different nations to do it. At Durgapur in West Bengal, 400 British experts are supervising 29,000 Indians in building a mill that will begin operation next fall. Also in West Bengal, in Jamshedpur, the Pittsburgh of India, U.S. engineers of the Kaiser Engineers Division are just about finished with...
...their families to India, they employ no servants. They ride in buses instead of private cars or Jeeps. The Russians work 16 hours a day, are careful never to mention politics. But the most effective Soviet ploy of all has been their insistence that every Russian of top rank must have his Indian counterpart. "Here," says one enthusiastic Indian at Bhilai, "we work shoulder to shoulder with the Russians. Elsewhere, we work under the foreigners...
Three days later Charles de Gaulle went on television for his first speech to the French people since he became President of the Fifth Republic. "A sterile struggle still drags on in Algeria." he said. "The war can lead only to useless misery. It must come to an end soon. Why not at once, in the honorable conditions that I have proposed...
Some unknown force must support the bulges, which could not exist if the earth were a simple, spinning mass of plastic material. One possibility: the earth's mantle (the 1,800-mile layer below the crust) may not be as plastic as has been thought. It may have mechanical strength, like brickwork, that keeps the earth out of shape. Another possibility: the bulges are supported by slow currents in the mantle, which push up the surface like massive bubbles in a spring...
...fusion laboratories, and presumably the Russian ones too, are working on this idea. The practical difficulties are formidable. The heat must be carried away by refrigerating machinery as fast as it is formed. Neutrons will shower thickly through the coils as soon as a fusion reaction starts up inside. They will contribute more heat, and they may do worse. Neutrons often change a metal's structure in such a way that its electrical resistance increases. If this should happen suddenly to a hydrogen-cooled coil while a monstrous current is flowing through it, much of the apparatus...
