Each of the paired cannons, he found, has glands that discharge a fluid into a saclike reservoir. Using his best microtechniques, Dr. Schildknecht next analyzed the fluid and found to his amazement that it was about 10% hydroquinone and toluhydroquinone (acrid compounds related to carbolic acid) and 23% hydrogen peroxide. When mixed in a test tube these chemicals reacted spontaneously, giving off copious gas, but something still unknown keeps them from reacting as long as they lie undisturbed in the beetle's ammunition sacs...
...liquid salt, the AEC hopes, will prove an energy reservoir from which power can be extracted, probably by injecting water into the cavity and taking it out as high-pressure steam, capable of running a turbine. No one expects that the first small explosion (cost: $5,500,000) will yield power cheap enough to be economically competitive. Even if all the energy in the 5-kiloton Domb were recovered as electric power, it would cost nearly $1 per kwh. Conventional coal-fired power stations produce electricity for less than...
...story begins with Natalie Wood fighting off her high school steady in a roadster parked by a reservoir in Kansas. She says, "Don't;" he doesn't. Instead, he drives her home to Mother who tells her that nice girls "don't go too far." His father tells him to "be careful." At this point, Inge inserts a series of plot complications that illustrate all the Freudian home truths. Eventually, she goes out of her mind, and he goes to Yale, where he marries an Italian waitress. Many morals could be drawn from this oh-so-revealing analysis of sexual...
...typing serum, commonly used in the laboratory for determining blood types, is a scarce commodity that has been priced at $14 for 10 cc. Now a rich reservoir of the precious serum, potentially worth more than $1,000,000, has been found-all of it running in the veins of a single man in Fort Worth...
...with applications. Moyers thinks it goes beyond that. Speaking of his own office staff he said, "Nobody is here who didn't ask to be here. Adults haven't been given a chance to answer President Kennedy's challenge 'to do something for your country.' There is a great reservoir of energy and talent that needs to be channeled. Not only the youth want to be challenged...
