...around gentle curves at speeds averaging 105 m.p.h. This is considered too fast for human engineers; computers will control the trains most of the way, with speeds and slowdowns for stops programmed on tape. Running time will be cut to three hours, from 6½ hours on the parallel Old Tokaido Line. The Japanese National Railways expects the New Tokaido's speed, style and comfort to attract 60,000 passengers daily, justify its investment of close to $1 billion...
...intimacy with asteroids increases, thinks Kohler, space voyagers may hitchhike on them, finding shelter from radiation, and perhaps fuel or structural material. Even a small asteroid will provide a steady base for telescopes. If an asteroid is traveling roughly parallel to the earth, it might be steered into an earth orbit. Then it could be hollowed out and used by spacemen as a roomy, steady, well-shielded satellite base...
...Stanford Accelerator will avoid this problem by building a straight line course two miles long, along down which the electrons will travel. The major problem here will be to construct a level track for such a great distance. If accomplished, it will be an engineering feat without parallel. The Stanford machine will be considerably more powerful than the C.E.A.: it is designed to operate at 25 Bev, and eventually reach as much as 45 Bev. But, it will concentrate on the same problems the C.E.A. is currently attacking
...miles, the Hawk can hunt down hostile bombers in the skies above Israel but has little offensive capability. But the sudden reversal of U.S. policy spurred the Arab press to frenzy. "Americans urinate on their own principles!" screamed Beirut's Al Anwar. The Egyptian Gazette, drawing a parallel between the Middle East and the Caribbean, cried that "Israel is a greater menace to Arab countries than Cuba will ever be to the U.S." Cairo's semi-official Al Akhabar took a more sophisticated line in charging that the Hawk deal was aimed at U.S. Jewish voters...
...writes Dr. Bauer, "the unwed mother attempts to conceal her enlarging abdomen by pulling in her buttocks, much as the cowed dog tucks his tail between his legs. This flattens the abdomen and reduces the lumbar lordosis [curvature of the lower spine]. In this position the fetus lies more parallel to the maternal spine and the abdominal muscles are less stretched." By contrast, "the married mother carries her pride before her like a banner, and drags behind her a crippling backache which often becomes chronic...
