...Force is counting on the Titan IIIC to be its space workhorse, both for military and experimental purposes. In twelve more test firings, Titan III-Cs with varying configurations of solid engines will orbit payloads of scientific instruments, communications satellites, a satellite for the detection of nuclear explosions in outer space, as well as test runs of equipment for the Air Force's proposed Manned Orbital Laboratory. Future solid boosters, claims United Technology Center, developer of the booster stage, could produce lift-off thrusts of 18 million Ibs. Proponents of solids are even hoping that the Titan IIIC success...
...existence of anti-particles-anti-protons, anti-neutrons, positrons (anti-electrons)-but are there also complex forms of antimatter? Many physicists have seriously doubted it. They did not have proof that particles of antimatter could be bound into anything as large as antiatoms in the same way that the nuclear force holds together earthly atoms...
...dispelled the doubts. In the Physical Review Letters, the Columbia scientists reported that they have produced the first complex nucleus of antimatter ever observed-the anti-deuteron. It is the antimatter counterpart to the nucleus of deuterium (heavy hydrogen), consists of an antiproton and antineutron bound by a strong nuclear force, and has a negative charge. Such an achievement, the Columbia researchers conclude, provides strong evidence to support theories about the existence of an antiworld of stars, planets, and possibly even antipeople...
Commenting on the new methods of warfare which she observed as a member of the AEC, Mrs. Bunting said she felt only an international police force should be entrusted with the control of nuclear powers...
...launch a trial bal loon for some new policy. The reporter can never be sure when an official denial will leave him and his story out on a limb. Secretary of Defense Robert Mc-Namara, for example, recently attended a background dinner with reporters at which he remarked that nuclear weapons had not been ruled out for use in Viet Nam. Columnist Doris Fleeson, who was not at the dinner, got the details nonetheless. When she printed them, McNamara, following the established rules of the game, denied ever having met with reporters...
