Listening to one of today's linemen discuss his duties is a little like listening to a physicist describe some new process for detecting subatomic particles. "Our defense basically revolves around the concept of playing keys," says Tackle Henry Jordan, who together with Ends Willie Davis and Lionel Aldridge and Tackle Ron Kostelnik forms the front four of the Green Bay Packers. "We move with them all the time. On a trap play, for example, Aldridge's opposing tackle will fake a pass block by going for our middle linebacker. Now I've moved with...
Last week a three-judge tribunal of the Seoul District Criminal Court delivered its verdicts. It found 31 of the 34 defendants guilty. Two were sentenced to death: Kyu Myung Chung, 39, a Frankfurt University physicist, and Yong Su Cho, 34, a professor of French, both of whom supplied Pyongyang with military and political information about South Korea. Four others were condemned to life imprisonment, including Composer Yun, and the rest given prison terms from one to 15 years, which they may appeal...
...inventors, Dr. Walter J. Gamble, associate in pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and associate in Cardiology at Children's Hospital, and Robert E. Innis, research physicist for American Optical Company--have been working on the cardiac device since...
Little more than an hour after the experiment began, Physicist Enrico Fermi performed several rapid calculations on a three-inch slide rule, then turned to the 41 scientists gathered with him on a balcony. "The reaction," announced Fermi, "is self-sustaining." In celebration, the scientists broke out a bottle of Chianti and drank it from paper cups. Thus, in a squash court on Stagg Field at the University of Chicago, the promise of an atomic age was born 25 years ago last week...
Like ancient mariners, astronauts exploring the solar system will navigate by the stars. But when man finally ventures to the stars themselves, says NASA Mathematician and Physicist Saul Moskowitz in a Sky and Telescope article, navigation will become more of a problem. In place of the familiar and steadfast constellations he has learned to rely on, the star traveler will encounter a mystifying and spectacularly changing sky in which stars move, change color, brighten, disappear, and magically cluster together in front...
