...Seawolf's high-tensile steel hull will withstand pressures of 100,000 lbs. per sq. in., permitting the sub to dive to depths between layers of water at different temperatures where it can hide from enemy sonar. When it comes time to surface, not even the polar ice cap will be able to keep the Seawolf down. The low, streamlined sail -- conning tower to landlubbers -- will be hardened to absorb the shock of breaking through the ice. Retractable bow planes will permit the Seawolf to navigate under the Arctic, the huge (5.4 million sq. mi.) new battleground of underwater...
Last year, Harvard women's squash Coach Steve Piltch thought he would make things interesting by sitting out his co-captains against Bowdoin. The Crimson dispatched the Polar Bears in less than 45 minutes...
Like many of their competitors in the computer industry, Robin and Tom Bennett sometimes work 18 hours a day. But when the 30-year-old founders of Polar Engineering, a custom software firm, step outside the office, they do not have to contend with jostling lunch crowds or bumper-to-bumper commutes. Instead, the married couple can take quiet strolls through 25 acres of birch and spruce forest. Reason: their office is in their three-bedroom, 3,500-sq.- ft. home on Alaska's remote Kenai peninsula. The nearest neighbor lives half a mile away, and now and then...
...likely source of mischief making: clouds of ice particles in the polar stratosphere. Explains Rowland: "Mostly, you don't get clouds in the stratosphere because most of the water has been frozen out earlier. But if the temperature gets low enough, you start freezing out the rest." Indeed, ice may prove to be a central cause of the ozone hole, since it provides surfaces for a kind of chemistry only recently associated with reactions in the atmosphere. In a gaseous state, molecules bounce around and eventually some hit one another. But adding a surface for the molecules to collect...
