...Farmer-Labor organization of Senator Hubert Humphrey and Governor Orville Freeman working smoothly on his behalf. Freeman platform-hopped about the state with Stevenson, Humphrey returned home from Washington for a weekend of campaigning, and Eleanor Roosevelt was scheduled to lend a hand this week. D.-F.-L. Chairman Ray Hemenway predicted that Stevenson would defeat Kefauver "by a three-to-one margin in most districts, and take every one of the state's delegates." Even so, Stevenson was taking nothing for granted. "I'm not sure whether it is the Lord's work...

Shortly after dinner one evening last week, Physicist John A. Simpson got an important message from the University of Chicago's Enrico Fermi Institute: the alarm bell on the cosmic ray monitoring device in Simpson's office was ringing. When he got to his office, Simpson discovered that cosmic rays were bombarding the earth at a phenomenal rate of 3,000 per minute (normal rate for the area: 200 per minute). The activity, noted by observatories around the world, followed by less than 30 minutes a giant solar flare. It was the strongest indication so far that cosmic...
