...Russians have tested several high-energy shots this year, one in excess of Hiroshima size, and the U.S. has only the U.S.S.R.'s word that the shots were nonnuclear. Moreover, with their big-thrust rocket engines, the Russians have the capability of testing nuclear warheads without detection in outer space, getting telemetered results much as they did from their moon shots. "We haven't quite lost this fight yet." said one knowledgeable nuclear scientist. "But we're in the position of having tied one hand behind our back and handed the other guy a ball...
...support of France, is now proposing that the Common Market mechanism be broadened to include political consultation. Greece, Turkey and Spain are clamoring to join the Common Market. As a pallid substitute of the Free Trade Area that it once demanded, Britain is forming its own economic league, an Outer Seven, bringing Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, Austria and Portugal into a loose tariff agreement. But the British, who privately admit that the Outer Seven is a patchwork job, now describe it as "a pier from which we can build a bridge with the Common Market." It promises...
...heart stubbornly refused to resume its normal beat, though five doctors massaged it in relays for three hours. Adrenaline and other heart stimulators failed. So did electric shock. The trouble. Dr. Francis Coughlin Jr. decided, was that although heated blankets and hot-water bottles were warming Flanagan's outer layers, the blood in the heart was still chilled. So he had six quarts of warm, sterile saline solution poured into the open chest, onto the heart, while he and his colleagues continued the massage. Flanagan's heart responded with two or three normal beats, then fluttered wildly again...
...thin, high, outer fringe of the atmosphere, the Fort Monmouth men explained, the atoms of gas are ionized by solar ultraviolet light into positively charged nuclei and negative electrons. Theory suggested that at a certain altitude above the earth this charged plasma should have a sort of elasticity that would permit hydromagnetic waves to pass along it, rather like mechanical waves traveling along a coil spring. The Fort Monmouth scientists found that the Argus explosions started just such waves in a layer of plasma about 1,500 miles high. The waves were about 1,000 miles long, and they traveled...
...confidence of the creators of Juno II, to the unforgettably tense faces of the missilemen when their bird was fired, Biography recorded every important aspect in the life of one of man's most intricate creations. The cameras sighted in on the meticulous welding of Juno's outer skin at the Chrysler plant in Detroit; they watched her engine-thrust (equal to 20 F-86 jet fighters) test at the Rocketdyne plant in Southern California. Artfully, accurately, never wasting a frame, they were on hand at Cape Canaveral on July 16, when the countdown began for the firing...
