...Navy is fairly well off with the Pacific defense now building. The radii of its patrol planes overlap from Alaska's Dutch Harbor to Samoa's Pago Pago, from Pearl Harbor to Manila. The Navy can cover the Pacific against any surprise attack. Once its reconnaissance pilots have located the enemy, the job is up to the bombers, and to the Pacific and Asiatic Fleets, which are now spread from Hawaii to Manila in a pattern that no Navy man will reveal...
...romp over it at will unless they meet their military match. The only major obstacles of terrain are the great rivers which flow southward into the Black Sea. While the Ukraine looks flat, it is actually underlaid by layers of rock sloping slightly upward to the east. These layers overlap one another like shingles and the rivers run beside the overlaps, with one low bank subject to flooding and one steep bluff on which most of the big towns lie. But the high bank in each case is on the west so that it presents no obstacle to an invasion...
...bombardier time to draw a bead. It is there that he is the best target for the antiaircraft guns. On likeliest directions of approach anti-aircraft guns are most heavily established. The batteries are so placed that the tops of their inverted cones of effective fire (see lower cut) overlap. Because it is better to wing a bomber before he drops his load than after, fire cones are heavily overlapped ahead of the lines where enemy bombers are likely to drop their eggs...
Last month when the 1937 Nobel Prize for Medicine was awarded to Szent-Györgyi, it seemed that the Swedish Academy of Sciences had passed up Haworth and Karrer (TIME, Nov. 8). Last week, well aware that the modern divisions of science overlap considerably, the Academy evened things up by announcing that the 1937 prize for Chemistry would go to Biochemists Haworth and Karrer...
...Pittsburgh Bible Institute. He believes that black Jews are descended from Jacob, white from Esau, twin sons of Isaac, and that he in particular is of the Tribe of Judah since he bears racial markings mentioned in the Bible-a gap between his upper front teeth, big toes that overlap his foretoes. Although only 600 Harlemites go to Rabbi Matthew's synagog, he believes the Harlem Jewish community numbers some 3,500, basing his figures on hospital records of circumcised Negroes. Currently another Jewish Negro synagog is being built near Westbury. L. I., by the Moorish Palestine Talmud Torah...
