...sort of Georgia peach that any man can pluck-and several do. His daughter-in-law Griselda (played by Tina Louise, the Appassionata von Climax of Broadway's Li'l Abner) plays her most important role in the hay with her brother-in-law (Aldo Ray), an event that, for one quaint reason or another, gives the fellow's wife almost as much satisfaction as it gives Griselda...
Handout. In Cleveland, when Mrs. Ray Maylin stopped for a traffic light and put out her left arm to signal a turn, a man grabbed it and stripped off $800 worth of jewelry...
...committed in the name of power. He has broken up his daughter's love match with a trumpet player, and let his wife put the girl (Diane Varsi) through what looks suspiciously like an abortion. He has twisted his son's life by forcing the boy (Ray Stricklyn) to give up his music and go to Yale. And he has wasted his own life by spending it with a woman he does not love. And she? "I've wasted my life on a failure!'' she screams...
Choked Tubes. Less reassuring news came from a team of cosmic ray experts at the State University of Iowa headed by Dr. James A. Van Allen. Both Explorer I and Explorer III, said Van Allen, ran into a belt of intense radiation at about 600 miles elevation. Each of the satellites carries a single Geiger tube to count cosmic rays. The radio transmitter of Explorer I sends a signal whenever the tube has made 128 counts. Explorer III has a magnetic tape that records the tube's counts during each circuit of the earth and reports to a ground...
...Allen was sure that no ray-free belt could exist between the earth and space. The only reasonable explanation, he decided, was that the silenced Geiger tubes had been knocked out temporarily by radiation too intense for them to handle. So he subjected a spare tube to X-ray bombardment in the laboratory. After studying its behavior, he decided that the tubes carried by the satellites must have passed through radiation equivalent to 35,000 counts per second, but were so choked up that they could not report their experience...
