...Washington, Correspondent Louis Banks turned out 24 pages of research gathered from David Lilienthal and members of his Atomic Energy Commission. Banks also had a session with Oppenheimer, from which he came away reeling to insert the following sentence in his account: "Oppenheimer was up before 8 o'clock on Sunday for an 8:30 breakfast date with Dr. Louis Banks, bewildered, lowbrowed, short-haired representative of TIME...
...interviewed in his native Denmark by TIME "stringer," Kai Schou. A Nobel prize winner and one of the leaders in the fellowship of physics whom Oppenheimer first met at Cambridge University, Bohr had escaped from Nazi-occupied Denmark to collaborate with Oppenheimer and the other scientists in the research and development of the atomic bomb...
...XF7U-1's design looks radical, but it has long been foreshadowed by the results of wind-tunnel research. Swept-back wings have two advantages. The air passing over them diagonally (parallel to the plane's motion) acts as if it were passing directly across the wing at right angles to its leading edge. This "short cut" slows the air-stream's apparent speed, and reduces the shockwave difficulties associated with Mach 1 (the speed of sound, 770 m.p.h...
When scientists send up research rockets to probe the thin upper atmosphere, they generally kiss their instruments goodbye. Few scientific gadgets survive the impact when the spent rocket hits the earth at thousands-of-miles-per-hour speed. Ordinary parachutes are no help because they are generally torn to shreds before they can waft the instruments to earth...
