...great advantage of LOR comes from weight-and fuel-saving at the moon end of the trip. A three-man spaceship capable of landing on the moon with enough fuel left to take off again and propel itself back to the earth, will have to weigh somewhere in the vicinity of 100,000 Ibs. The landing bug will be much smaller, probably weighing only 25,000 Ibs.. because it will not carry all the fuel, supplies and equipment for the full trip back to earth. Less fuel will be needed to land it on the moon and take...
Help from Democrats. Rockefeller's own future depends on how well he does in the New York election this fall. A big win would propel him strongly into the running in 1964. So far, New York Democrats seem intent on giving him a helping hand. No Democrat has yet emerged who is any real opposition for Rockefeller, and the Democrats have made news mostly by their scramble to avoid facing him in the fall...
...influences of the home environment on delinquency operate selectively to propel toward maladjustment only those children characterized by specific traits which enhance their vulnerability. Some such traits are essentially constitutional and therefore rigid. For these, it is possible to reduce the hazards of delinquency by altering environmental factors. Other traits are essentially due to sociocultural conditioning and are therefore more plastic and modifiable...
...well-knit, Uelses runs the 100-yd. dash in 9.7 sec., needs only an abbreviated, 104-ft. approach (standard: 130-140 ft.) to reach top speed. He gets so much lift that he needs only a cut-down, 14-ft. 11-in. pole to propel his body across a 16-ft.-high bar. Aloft he is unusually graceful, clearing the crossbar with his feet tucked closely together, stomach sucked in, arms flung high over his head. Uelses never rests between vaults. He paces back and forth, stares up at the crossbar, tidies up the runway with a broom. "Mental attitude...
Purcell's views, which were given national attention over the weekend in a New York Times article on the possibility of communication with other worlds, are based on elementary mechanical considerations which show that preposterous amounts of fuel would be required to propel a rocket to another planetary system and back to the earth within a reasonable period of time...
