...train Volunteers for this? Freud once remarked that children are prepared for the tropics and then sent to the polar ice cap. He was talking about children in the comfortable classes who were sheltered in the Victorian era from any knowledge of sex or aggression. Young people in our own society are less sheltered in these respects on the whole, but they are often sheltered by our relative affluence, efficiency, and cooperativeness from what it is like to live in a world of peasant distrust, misery, and fatalism. And yet Volunteers do learn. Many in the Colombia group had begun...
Women's fashions have never been leggier. And so, with skirts still riding well above their knees and winter's icy blasts already on their minds, women are searching for new ways to beat the now familiar problem of polar kneecap. The surest bet seems to be boots, and all across the country women are besieging stores for this year's rage: high-rise stretch vinyl or synthetic-leather boots that pull on and off like gloves, and reach all the way up the thigh...
...weather satellite called Essa (for the Commerce Department's Environmental Science Services Administration), Beulah's every move was tracked and reported round the clock by radio, thus permitting more than 150,000 Texans to dodge the big storm's flailing fist. Watching from a polar orbit 865 miles above the earth, Essa's twin TV cameras gave the Texas Gulf Coast twelve days' advance warning on her course. In the Caribbean and Mexico, where Beulah rampaged for two weeks before striking Texas, the storm took about 40 lives-in part because of inadequate radio warning...
...does not carry her to the chairmanship of a government agency, Miss Susann has made sure that Washington will not feel left out. The second heroine, a blonde sex-goddess called Jennifer North, wriggles from the clutches of a Spanish lesbian and divorces a retarded singing idol named Tony Polar to win the love of a senator named Win. Unfortunately, tragedy intervenes and Jennifer doses off a la Marilyn Monroe...
Transit operates on a simple principle: once a satellite's location is known, two calculations of its range from any ship will determine position at sea. Under the Navy system, three Transit satellites circle the globe in 105-minute polar orbits at an altitude of 700 miles. Since the earth also rotates beneath them, the Transits provide round-the-world navigational checkpoints. Four Transit tracking and receiving stations in Maine, Minnesota, Hawaii and Point Mugu, Calif., track the satellites as they pass within range, then relay position data to a computer center at Point Mugu. There, projected twelve-hour...
