...Hate Americans." Ex-Wehrmacht General Reinhard Gehlen, who is as secretive as any of his 5,000 men (his last known photograph dates from 1944), set up his outfit in 1947 with the cooperation of the CIA. It was staffed largely with veteran agents who got their training under the Nazis, although Gehlen himself had never joined the Nazi party. In 1955 the Gehlen apparatus was turned over from CIA control to the West German government; it reports directly to the Chancellor's office, has a top secret budget. Yet in court, the three men who penetrated its walled...
Bombardment by Radar. Along the curving path of the shadow, which slips between Montreal and Quebec, cuts Maine in two, and grazes the southern tip of Nova Scotia, scientists will deploy their strange instruments. They will photograph the moon-covered sun in every available way, shoot rockets into the shadow. A German group will check Einstein's theory of relativity by photographing stars that appear to be close to the sun to see how much their light is bent by the sun's gravitation. Distant radio telescopes will bombard the moon with radar waves so that observers...
...Clarke believes that photophores actually protect their bearers by confusing the enemy. The fish cruising below are rather nearsighted, so they do not see the little searchlights as points of brightness. Instead, the lights blend together as in a badly focused photograph, making the silhouette look dim and fuzzy against the lighted ceiling. So the hungry fish with the upturned eyes look elsewhere for dinner...
Trieste on Call. The Navy is reasonably sure by now that Thresher lies close by, under a small area of ocean marked by bright orange buoys. Hopefully, the Trieste will soon photograph the actual wreck. The depth will be moderate for the Trieste, which has already cruised to the bottom of the Marianas Trench off Guam, 35,800 ft. down, but the strong currents off Cape Cod are a serious threat. Though proof against water pressure in the deepest ocean, Trieste has feeble propulsion. She can creep only four or five miles at about 1.4 m.p.h.; during the 45 minutes...
...Robert B. Kaiser, with reaction reports from correspondents in Paris, Geneva, Brussels, Amsterdam, Bonn, London, Boston, Chicago, Washington and Los Angeles, was written against great deadline pressure by Religion Writer John T. Elson and edited by Senior Editor William Forbis. The cover itself is from the last publicly distributed photograph of John taken on May 25. He was recording a radio broadcast at the Vatican to the faith ful of the sanctuary of Piekary in Poland, a traditional message sent on the last Sunday of May each year. The next day he fell critically...
