Within months of his death the first official geological research parties set out for the Sahara; within five years the first Sahara oil was discovered at the ocher-red waste, of Edjel...
Tepee is the brainchild of young (33) Physicist William John Thaler (pronounced Thayler) of the Office of Naval Research. Thaler's primary field is nuclear weapons effects. But two years ago, he had a sudden notion that certain characteristics of the behavior of radio waves might be the key to a simple and reliable long-range detection system. Since both the ionosphere and the surface of the earth will deflect radio signals, a transmitter can angle its beam upward and the broad waves will carom back and forth between ground and sky as they proceed to circle the earth...
...ionosphere. Says Thaler: "We just don't know enough about the propagation of radio waves through the ionosphere. It is not well understood.'' Other scientists chipped in with equally cautious remarks. "It is not the greatest thing since beer," said one; and an M.I.T. researcher pointed out that "obvious countermeasures [radio jamming] could be used against it." But the Defense Department's careful-going Research Director Herbert York concedes that "the ionospheric backscatter principle is a sound one." Give him a year. Thaler predicted, and he hoped he could go to the Defense Department...
William Y. Elliott, Director of the Summer School, will resign his post in order to devote more time to writing and research. He has served as Director for a record of ten years, during which the Summer School doubled its enrollment...
