Undaunted by Danger. Before the launch, Nuclear Physicist Ralph Lapp gave voice to the nagging fears that many Americans have about this week's mission. "We are pushing our luck," he said, "gambling that everything will work perfectly. NASA experts will assure you that they have thought through the risks and have planned for them. Well, they didn't in Apollo...
...expressed outrage and dismay, some from Communist papers around the world. Soviet citizens have learned from foreign radio-much more than from their own news sources-of the rising cries of dissent from their country's intellectuals. The Voice of America, for example, has broadcast full versions of Physicist Andrei Sakharov's extraordinary outline for an East-West detente (which is critical of both U.S. and Soviet current policy) and Major General Pyotr Grigorenko's recent anti-Kremlin statements...
Henry is down there." One who viewed Nixon's choice with outright misgiving, however, was Nuclear Physicist Ralph Lapp, who has often been at odds with the nation's scientific Establishment for its overinvolvement with the military. He argued that Kissinger is an unreconstructed hardliner...
DuBridge enjoys immense respect among his fellow scientists, and his appointment was viewed by them as an excellent one. Though a physicist deeply devoted to the intricacies of basic science, DuBridge has built his reputation primarily as a thoughtful and creative administrator. He is also a social activist in Los Angeles, where he is chairman of the local Urban Coalition. Speaking at Notre Dame last year, Dr. DuBridge decried the use of university facilities for secret research into such things as weaponry...
Impressed by the apparent correlation between wobble and earthquakes, Columbia University Physicist James Heirtzler offers a different theory in the current issue of Scientific American. The prequake variations in the path of the pole suggest to him that the wobble is responsible for-rather than a result of-the earthquakes. Furthermore, he speculates, the wobble may also cause climate changes, mountain-building, and even the occasional reversal of the earth's magnetic field. But Heirtzler's theory still leaves wide open the question that Mansinha and Smylie believe they have correctly answered: What causes the wobble...
