...dangerously at other times. Coping with migratory birds, says Hardenberg, calls for close cooperation between aviation experts and ornithologists. Pilots should get bird information along with weather forecasts, he says, and the movements of birds should be followed closely throughout Europe. Studies are now under way to see whether radar can watch for dangerous birds as it does for thunderstorms...
...came out in a lone defense, and the Lions looked as if they'd never seen one before; they sank one field goal in the third quarter. Meanwhile, McClung was stuffing 'em in like Wilt Chamberlain. Sedlucok was jumping in 20-foot jump shots as if he were using radar. Williams was jumping like a kangaroo. Offensively and defensively, the quintet functioned brilliantly as they racked up 50 points in the second half and rolled up a 22-point lead until they put in their reserves...
Plastic, Cardboard & Bamboo. In ten years the famed domes of Bucky Fuller have covered more square feet of the earth than any other single kind of shelter. U.S. Marines have lived and worked in them from Antarctica to Okinawa. Beneath them, radar antennas turn tirelessly along the 4,500 miles of the DEW line, which guards the North American continent against surprise attack. For eight years, the U.S. has been using Fuller domes to house its exhibits at global trade fairs; they have represented America in Warsaw, Casablanca, Istanbul, Kabul, Tunis, Lima, New Delhi, Accra, Bangkok, Tokyo, Osaka. The Russians...
...adding a low-noise amplifier to their radar, RCA engineers discovered that they could track CAT even better; they followed its path with a clear, rapidly wiggling line on their radarscopes. Last week RCA had two modified C-band sets at work-one in Moorestown, N.J., and another on the DAMP (for Downrange Anti-Missile Measurement Program) ship in the South Atlantic. Once they are certain they have cornered CAT, avoiding its dangerous attack will be a simple matter for the careful pilot...
...scene that seems likely to overtake it soon, Goodyear has looked for its challenges elsewhere. With 98,000 employees-one of the largest work forces in the nation-it now turns out more than 30,000 products, from myriad rubber goods to such unexpected items as airplane brakes, radar systems, missile liners and plastic film used to package anything from oleomargarine to cigars. As if this were not enough, the Pentagon this week will take the wraps off an unusual, top-secret new missile developed by Goodyear (though rubber plays only a small part in it) under a $200 million...
