...face of the land is also changing through vast engineering projects like the 425-mile Rajasthan Canal and the Nagarjuna Sagar Dam, both being built largely by hand labor. By contrast, Bombay boasts a modern, $55 million atomic power plant. Indian nuclear physicists could easily build an atomic bomb in a year to 18 months, but India has no real military use for it. Still, India may well be forced to develop nuclear weapons if only to recapture international prestige, particularly since Red China has begun exploding atomic devices...
...Ford's large and clangorous Wixom plant just west of Detroit, the first 1966 autos-restyled Lincolns and Thunderbirds-rolled off the line last week. Throughout the industry plants closed down their production lines and began the changeover to the 1966 models, which will hit the showrooms beginning in late September. So insatiable is the national curiosity about Detroit's new models that the industry has, as usual, begun to be besieged by leaks, peeks and broad speculation. With the new models ride the automakers' hopes that the nation's most important industry can continue...
Plucked Arm. Last year Gardner became chairman of Johnson's special task force on education which, the President reported last week, "helped to plant the seed bed of the education harvest that has been produced by the 89th Congress." Recommendations by the task force formed the basis for key sections of Johnson's $1.3 billion federal-aid-to-education law passed this year. A month ago, an aide strongly recommended Gardner to Johnson as a replacement for Celebrezze-and Gardner started undergoing the well-known Lyndon look-over...
...improved pictures of the stars and planets. At San Francisco, for example, International Business Machines engineers suggested that an orbiting laboratory 200 miles above the earth could complete in two days a global survey of all land under cultivation, even distinguishing between corn and wheat and oats, and spotting plant diseases before they are visible to the human eye. It would take a fleet of 50 planes as long as 20 years to do the same...
...potential in a rural community, the Riverhead plant and other small ones offer just a drop in the bucket to thirsty cities such as New York, which daily consumes 1.25 billion gal. The governments of the U.S. and Israel are now jointly studying the possibility of building nuclear desalinization plants with daily outputs of 100 million gal. For the Los Angeles region, Bechtel Corp. has recently completed the first stage of a study calling for a two-reactor nuclear plant that theoretically, by 1972, could turn out 150 million gal. per day, at a cost...
