...result of research by Department of Agriculture scientists, an unskilled la borer can now equal the speed of a shear er by literally peeling wool from a sheep with his bare hands...
...Unlike your business reporter, I was cheered to learn of Norway's exit from the 18th century endeavor of whale hunting [Nov. 29]. Will the final exit of this industry be the result of responsible action by civilized nations or the extinction of these remarkable mammals? May a whale always be a whale, not margarine, dog food and then a memory...
...with major Soviet aid and advice, refuse to accept fully their defeat or abandon completely their long-range goal of eliminating Israel. The more responsible Arab leaders, including Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser and Jordan's King Hussein, know that any early attack on Israel would only result in another resounding defeat. But in a measure they are prisoners of their Arab masses, long fed on the oratory of hate and revenge and embittered by the 26,000 sq. mi. of Arab territory-taken from Jordan, Syria and Egypt-now occupied by the Israelis...
...great a dose either killed or sickened the sheep, and too little failed to produce the desired effect. But the researchers soon discov ered that a dose of about nine milligrams for every pound of the sheep's body weight produced just the right result. The drug affected the wool fiber only where it is produced, in follicles below the surface of the skin, and acted for about 24 hours before being dissipated by the body. During this period, cell growth was retarded, producing thinner than normal segments on each fiber before normal growth resumed. Six or seven days...
Impressed by the apparent correlation between wobble and earthquakes, Columbia University Physicist James Heirtzler offers a different theory in the current issue of Scientific American. The prequake variations in the path of the pole suggest to him that the wobble is responsible for-rather than a result of-the earthquakes. Furthermore, he speculates, the wobble may also cause climate changes, mountain-building, and even the occasional reversal of the earth's magnetic field. But Heirtzler's theory still leaves wide open the question that Mansinha and Smylie believe they have correctly answered: What causes the wobble...
