...defense of their scheme, the Miami scientists point to a recent study of the seismic effects of 21 underground nuclear tests staged by the Atomic Energy Commission in Nevada, a highly quake-prone region. Though each blast was followed by countless small aftershocks, none reached quake proportions and all were substantially weaker than the original explosion. The AEC is convinced that there is little risk in conducting such tests. It plans to follow up its recent controversial detonation of a 1.2 megaton H-bomb on Amchitka Island in the Aleutians, another major quake zone, with more powerful underground blasts...
...small motor moves the diffraction grating to examine any one of 10,000 different wavelengths or areas of the spectrum. A second motor keeps the telescope aimed at a single point, or else it shifts the entire telescope back and forth to scan small areas of the sun. It thus obtains a television picture in a particular type of ultra-violet light...
...continuously," said Martin S. Huber, a Research Associate who calibrated the experiment. "But we have a real observatory with an almost infinite number of observation possibilities." The telescope can view the sun in one of 10,000 different wavelengths of ultra-violet light and can aim at a single point, take a picture of the entire sun, or scan an area only 1/15 the size of the sun's visible disc. Where earlier OSO satellites were able to take only one picture of the entire surface every 5 minutes, this telescope can also map a small region every 30 seconds...
...first game as a starting quarterback. Smith led the offense which scored Harvard's highest point total in an Ivy League game, and set a Crimson record for rushing in a League game with 383 yards. Smith passed for 85 yards and one touchdown. "He was the big man in revitalizing our offense, and proved he can be a top quarterback." said head coach John Yovicsin...
