...First of a series of scientific-adventure specials filmed by Captain Cousteau under the world's major oceans during a five-year oceanographic expedition. For this week's feature, "Sharks," Cousteau's crew probes the Red Sea, Indian Ocean and Gulf of Aden, studying the fish and ways to protect downed flyers and shipwreck victims from them...
...Mice & Men. Scientists chosen to examine the lunar samples will have more freedom. Protected by an ingenious "biological barrier"-a system of vacuum chambers, pneumatic transfer tubes, decontamination locks and "glove boxes"-they will be able to enter and leave their area of the LRL during the quarantine period, examining the lunar material without ever coming in direct contact with it or the astronauts. The samples, maintained in a constant vacuum to protect them from terrestrial contamination, will be analyzed in LRL biology, chemistry, mass-spectrometer and gamma-ray spectroscopy labs. Tiny amounts of moon material will be injected into...
...farmers' problem is their masterful man-hour productivity, a 5.7% annual hike since 1950, v. industry's 2.6%. Despite a pastiche of Government programs to control production and protect prices, farmers continue to grow more on fewer acres through fertilization, mechanization and technology. Freeman indeed takes part of the blame for this year's bumper crop because he trusted all-but-unanimous warnings of impending poor harvests and drastically increased planting quotas, then watched in dismay as ideal weather brought in history's greatest yields-both of food and discontent...
...Rumanian diplomats, have communicated to the West what seem to be hints that they might be willing to negotiate. Captured Communist documents in Viet Nam tend to suggest the same possibility. Negotiations usually start when one side demonstrates clear military or political superiority and the other side seeks to protect what it still has. The Communists are hurting badly in the field and at home. They are losing more than four men for every one lost by the allies-in some recent actions the ratio is more than ten to one-and they are expending troops so extravagantly...
...Army's need developed out of the fact that low-flying, thin-skinned and slow-moving helicopters are often clay pigeons to ground-based enemy sharpshooters and are virtually impossible to protect with jet or conventional prop planes. In demonstrating how it could do the job, Lockheed's Cheyenne rolled down the runway at 50 m.p.h., stopped, reversed direction, then did a series of intricate ground maneuvers before lifting itself 10 ft. aloft and hovering in that position. Extending and retracting its landing gear, the craft climbed to 30 ft. and, in helicopter fashion, backed...
