...body. It was a shark and two pilot fish. Five bodies were recovered, three men and two women, and doctors who examined them were struck by the similarity of their injuries to those suffered in the Comet disaster off Elba. There were no significant burn marks, no sign of oxygen lack. The faces showed no sign of fear: death had come too suddenly for that...
...instead, depicted the grueling labor that goes into ice and snow climbing, creating a lasting tribute to the great heart and courage of the British climbers and their Sherpa porters. In shots of Hunt's agonized breathing without bottled oxygen at 28,000 feet, and in long, expansive views of the incredible faced of the giant mountain he has quitely conveyed the vastness of their undertaking...
...Cambridge describes the most hopeful approach so far to a practical fuel cell. Bacon uses two diaphragms of porous nickel set close together with an electrolyte (a solution of potassium hydroxide) between them. Hydrogen gas at the pressure of 800 Ibs. per sq. in. seeps through one diaphragm, oxygen through the other. They combine in the electrolyte, and the energy of their "burning" appears as electricity, not as heat...
...parts need be only one-half inch thick, many cells can be stacked up in series to give higher voltage. The efficiency can be as high as 77%. Bacon believes that his fuel cell can also be used as a kind of storage battery; it can burn hydrogen and oxygen made by decomposing water with surplus electricity when demand is low. Later on, he hopes, it can burn air and impure hydrogen made with coal...
...newborn infants in a nursery at Uruguay's Pereyra Rossell Maternity Hospital in Montevideo turned blue last week. Doctors had no trouble diagnosing the mass illness as a hemoglobin disorder. But finding the cause was another matter. Meanwhile, as 15 of the babies seemed near death, every oxygen tent in the city was ordered to the hospital, and each infant's blood was completely changed by transfusion...
