Also watching from a mountainside that morning was Los Alamos Physicist Ogle, barely a year past his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois. Though his role was minor, he had caught the fever of the race to make the bomb...
...Director Ogle is one of a strange breed of professional weapons testers who have traveled the atomic route in the conviction that what they are doing will make the U.S. stronger. They are fascinated by their wondrous weapons, whose forces even they do not fully understand. Another such tester, Physicist Walter Goad Jr. of the University of California's Scientific Laboratory at Los Alamos, puts their view simply: "Everyone here recognizes that these weapons are terribly destructive and that we don't know what will ultimately happen. But we feel that in a world of so much force...
Conceived by Albert G. Bodine, a physicist in California, the hammer imparts to the pile longitudinal vibrations with the resonant frequency of the pile. Resonant frequency insures minimum loss of energy, in contrast to the conventional steam hammer process in which most of the driving energy is lost. The pile is driven into the ground as the vibrations cause it to expand and contract at a very high rate of speed. The sonic process takes one minute, as compared to 12-15 minutes for the conventional method...
Chancellor Eliot is in the tradition of two admirable predecessors: the late Physicist Arthur H. Compton (1945-53), and Republican Lawyer Ethan...
Last month 15 of West Germany's most eminent professors rose in protest. Writing to every member of the Bundestag, they urged the outlawing of an atavism that is "utterly incompatible with our contemporary conception of morals and ethics." The professors, including Nobel prizewinning Physicist Max Born, got nowhere. The Bundestag is laced with the Alte Herren (alumni) of dueling societies. Fumed one Alter Herr: "Don't talk about things you don'tunderstand...
