...Senator Henry M. Jackson says: "Scientific findings don't change fundamental principles." Thus, presumably, the concessions will do little to change the Russian position. Whether ten inspection posts or 19 are involved, to the Russians it's still "espionage." But when Arthur Dean heads back to the pingpong table at Geneva this week, he will be able to show that the U.S. is at least trying...
...hours without sleep. The test subjects worked for 4½-hour stretches, then got 1½ hours off for a meal and rest-but no sleep. After two wide-awake nights, the sailors still did well at intellectually stimulating or competitive tasks such as playing chess, darts or pingpong.

But he has crossed Jack Kennedy 6ften in recent months, and in fact, has voted pro-Kennedy...
...protons' reluctance to turn, explains Republic's Physicist Stanley M. Forman, is the secret of the new magnetic-induction gyroscope. Electric current passing through two coils of wire creates a magnetic field that makes protons in a small, water-filled sphere (sometimes a pingpong ball) line up in one direction. When the coils are turned, their magnetic field turns with them; the protons resist, and in their struggle they generate a faint electric current that can be picked up by a second pair of coils...
...rather Electrafying relationship that developed between the stepfather-seducer and the child-mistress. The book's last scene is the movie's first. Moving numbly through a Hollywood-style mansion full of bottles, harps, glasses, statues, bot tles, grand pianos, glasses, sheeted furniture and an incongruous pingpong table...
