...freight's most ardent advocates predict that it will turn the U.S. into one vast market "five hours wide and 21 hours deep." That day is still some distance away, but an industry that does not blink at moving a 2,300-lb. cookie is quite capable of making the dream a reality. Right now, in fact, air freight is growing twice as fast as passenger travel...
Prefabricated Savings. Government economists predict that 1,640,000 new residences will be started in 1964, 40,000 more than last year. The biggest need for new homes is in the fast-growing West; the East is much more heavily built up, but its market is kept growing by prospering families who are always on the lookout to trade in their homes for more room and more luxury. Fortunately, mortgage loans are still easy to come by, and the trend is for home buyers to avoid the red tape of low-cost FHA or VA loans in favor of straight...
Into this weekend's games Harvard carries a 6-2 record, its second best pre-Ivy mark in 17 years. However, it's impossible to predict how the team will fare against the Lions and the Red. The Crimson will need good shooting and, more important, good ball handling to win both games. But if they do, Harvard's basketball team will be headed for its first finish in the upper half of the Ivy League since...
Antarctica's vast (5,300,000 sq. mi.) expanse, comprising 93% of the world's ice, offers an unsurpassed observatory for study of the oceans, which would rise 200 ft. if, as some predict, the icecap should melt in some far distant age. Scientists have already learned a great deal about its climate and its far-reaching effect on the world's weather. Oceanographers are studying Antarctica's seas, which are among the world's most fertile areas...
...neutrinos will measure is the temperature of the core. Astrophysicists now estimate it at 29 million degrees F., but the neutrino observatory will give a firmer figure because the nuclear reaction that produces solar neutrinos is favored by high temperature. If Dr. Davis counts more neutrinos than current formulas predict, astrophysicists will know that the temperature of the core is higher than they have guessed...
