...natural wood pancling, leather upholstery, and new rugs, but these scents will eventually be blown out of the building by an elaborate air control system that attacks both from within and without. Separate units dispersed inside give each floor an independent wind and rumble capability. Mounted on the roof are four propellers, which may not be World War II Air Force surplus, yet reproduce the effects of a B-17 warming up in the attic. They impart to the lower floors a pulse beat of a steady thirty-five, which quickens to a dull tremor throughout the upper stories...
...Harvard's half of the ninth, however, the roof blew off Kindlestick Park. Needing three runs to tie the score and four to win. Harvard's chances seemed dim when Diehl flied to center, Miller singled and Sargent advanced him to second by grounding out to the first baseman. But Jim Mullen, pinch hitting for pitcher Dick Garibaldi, drove a deep single to right center, scoring Miller. Curly Combs followed this with a double to right, leaving men on second and third. When B.U.'s third baseman bobbled Bilodeau's hot grounder and threw wide to first, both of these...
...After many months of work, an improved transmitter pointed at Lincoln Laboratory from Mount Wachusett. The tiny gallium arsenide diode, only 0.01 in. in diameter, was placed precisely at the focus of a 5-in. reflecting telescope that concentrated its infra-red light into a tight bundle. On the roof of the lab, the researchers set up their receiver-the reflector of a 5-ft. war-surplus searchlight with a sensitive photocell at its focal point...
...night last winter, the entire experiment was ready. The men on Wachusett turned on the diode and reported their action to Lincoln Lab by telephone. Standing on the lab roof, Physicist M. John Hudson pointed a snooperscope toward the mountain and immediately picked out the bright spot of light that marked the glowing diode. By telephone he told the men on the mountain to begin talking into a microphone and modulating the infrared beam. The response came clearly across the cold night air and was picked up by the lab-top receiver. "I'm starting now." Those words...
Reported at 3:20 p.m., the fire was thought to be under control by 4:30, but flames suddenly cut through the roof, drastically altering the situation. Sparks, which made a spectacular show as they descended on roof-tops, started a dozen minor fires, which were quickly extinguished...
