...rest of China's inhabitants, they are hungry. They are accused of pecking away at supplies in warehouses and in paddyfields at an officially estimated rate of four pounds of grain per sparrow per year. And so divisions of soldiers deployed through Peking streets, their footfalls muffled by rubber-soled sneakers. Students and civil servants in high-collared tunics, and schoolchildren carrying pots and pans, ladles and spoons, quietly took up their stations. The total force, according to Radio Peking, numbered...
...physicists who have seen Heisenberg's equation still feel that it cannot quite explain all they see in their accelerators. Dr. John Grebe (rhymes with Hebe) begins with what they do see. A noted industrial researcher who was a leader in the wartime development of styrene for synthetic rubber, Grebe nevertheless has the same classical approach as Heisenberg. The secret of why the fundamental particles of matter somehow hold together in the atomic nucleus, he feels, must be less complicated than researchers believe. Reason: the rest of nature is "so beautiful and orderly and ultrasimple...
...lungs, stops when the chest rises so that the lungs can automatically deflate. The cycle is repeated at a rate of 20 inflations per minute until revival. For even more efficient operation (and to spare the finicky rescuer from intimate contact with more messy victims such as drunks), a rubber blowpipe with an S curve has been devised to fit the throat, prevent air from entering the stomach. Of 87 mostly untrained operators who tried the tube for the first time, say the researchers, none failed to revive his victim. Conclusion: all lifeguards, policemen, firemen and other official rescuers should...
...Like to Try." Thiokol got into missiles in the same way the rubber was invented-by accident. Its researchers had found a way to process solid Thiokol into a liquid, and during World War II the armed services used it as a sealant for aircraft-carrier decks, pipelines, and the wing tanks of planes (the average commercial plane today carries about 300 Ibs. of Thiokol sealants). Then in 1946 Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, working on a radically new solid rocket fuel, tried mixing an oxidizing agent with rubber. But it had trouble combining the oxidizer with solid rubber...
