...beginning. He thinks that future satellites will carry TV or facsimile apparatus to send continuous pictures of cloud patterns. These can be translated into hour-by-hour maps of the atmosphere's circulation, which is responsible for the weather. Particularly useful will be cloud pictures from oceans and polar regions, where few ground weather stations exist at present. Eventually weathermen, watching the whole earth's clouds through the electronic eyes of several satellites, may be able to predict the advance of cold and warm fronts, spot newborn hurricanes and trace the meanderings of the Jetstream...
...Polar scientists have long speculated on what lies beneath the ice-covered surface of the South Pole, which is 9,200 ft. above sea level. Last week the best look yet beneath the Pole came from the Rev. Daniel Linehan, S.J., seismologist, burly professor of geophysics at Boston College and onetime (1923) guard on a good B.C. football team. Jesuit Linehan's findings: the Pole is underlain by rock above sea level...
BRUNSWICK, Me., Dec. 4--The Crimson basketball varsity spoiled the inauguration of a new coach and a new season here tonight by defeating the Bowdoin Polar Bears, 69 to 58. It was the Crimson's second game and its second victory...

ACROSS the North American continent from the edge of the polar icecap to the Mexican border lies a vast and wondrously intricate system of aerial defenses. Built over a period of nine years at a cost of more than $18 billion, based upon radar networks within networks electronically tied to the most modern systems of detection and interception (see color pages), it was never considered foolproof against penetration. A defense in depth, it was designed to-and will-limit to a minimum the breakthroughs of Soviet long-range bombers coming to pour nuclear destruction...
