...ROCKETDYNE, which has produced the engines powering about 90% of U.S. missile and space flights. Chief current project: developing the Saturn and Nova clustered rockets to loft huge spacecraft on interplanetary jaunts...
...moon next year with an improved version of the Atlas missile; it will have a liquid hydrogen engine in its second stage, match the power of Russia's 1,000,000-lb. rockets. By 1967, the U.S. hopes to land men on the moon with the Nova, a rocket still under study that may end up being powered by clusters of F-1 engines...
...space program will not lead to the demise of non-spectacular, non-military scientific research projects if the selection is done wisely. Efforts must be made to leapfrog the Soviets in big boosters, by working on "far-out" ideas. A clear choice must be made between the Rover, Nova and Saturn booster projects, and that choice must be pushed hard, with work done on more than a 40-hour-a-week basis. Adequate deterrent power is an necessity, of course, but unnecessary obeisance must not be made to the holy word Defense, even though the more mention...

"St. Philomena" was "discovered" on May 24, 1802 in the catacomb of St. Priscilla on Rome's Via Saleria Nova as the skeleton of a 13-to 15-year-old girl with a badly fractured skull.

The presence of a glass phial containing the remains of what was assumed...
...caper in Canadian colleges is bed pushing. Born at the University of Rhodesia, and perfected-as was last year's college craze, phone-booth stacking -at South Africa's University of Natal, it spread over some sort of Commonwealth bush telegraph. Last week Canadian college students from Nova Scotia to British Columbia were indefatigably mounting beds on wheels and pushing them over highways, prairies and frozen lakes. The current world's record of 1,000 continuous miles is claimed by a team from Ontario's Queens University, which kept its Simmons rolling day and night...
