...said. That didn't make any sense. Vag went on. "SORRY CAN'T COME FOR GAME MUST STAY WITH SICK MOTHER STOP SOME OTHER TIME," Vag read it carefully twice over, then crumpled it into a small ball and flipped it toward the wastebasket. It bounced off the rim, and sat smugly on the edge...
...device is primarily a photoelectric eye which is attached to the rim of the patient's ear; it reacts to the color of the blood in the ear: bright red when there is enough oxygen, darker as the oxygen diminishes. A year ago Charles F. ("Boss Ket") Kettering,* former head of the General Motors Research Laboratories, joined the team to iron out some technical bugs...
...geologists, Dr. Frank Reeves and N. B. Sauve of the Vacuum Oil Co., spotted the crater from an airplane. What they saw was a circular depression more than half a mile across and 100 ft. deep, with a splashed-out looking rim. In general appearance it looked much like Arizona's meteor crater (570 ft. deep, four-fifths of a mile in diameter...
...Reeves went back and examined his discovery. He did not find any chunks of meteorite, nor could he prove conclusively that the hole was made by a meteor. But all signs indicated that it was. There were no volcanic materials in the vicinity, and the strata around the rim seemed to be tilted upward as if from an underground explosion...
Geologists from Australia's Bureau of Mineral Resources have studied the crater and found some proof that it was made by a large mass of meteoric material that plunged into the earth at enormous speed and exploded like a bomb. The piles of rock in the rim are fractured as if they were blown out of the depression. The undisturbed rock layers of the region are horizontal, or nearly so, while the strata near the crater dip downward from the rim. The geologists found no meteoric iron, but they did find chunks of peculiar rock containing 3% of nickel...
