...Force scientists are conducting further experiments in California to refine their fog-dispersing system, but they say that it has already proved practical under combat conditions in Southeast Asia. Twice, after Air Force planes were forced down and obscured by low-lying cloud banks in enemy-infested territory, rescue helicopters spiraled overhead until they had cleared holes in the clouds. They then lowered lines and rescued the downed pilots, who thus became the first beneficiaries of a novel procedure that Air Force scientists hope will soon become routine...
...feeling, Feinberg brazenly began questioning the inviolable Einsteinian speed limit more than a dec ade ago. But no matter how he analyzed the set of mathematical equations that define relativity, he could not es cape the conclusion that matter cannot be accelerated to the speed of light, to say nothing of higher velocities. The equations showed that at the velocity of light, the mass and energy of any ordinary particle would become infinite -a clearly impossible situation. Beyond it, his mathematics suggested, the mass and energy of the particle can only be represented by the kind of number that mathematicians...
...religious orders were henceforth forbidden to study at the Cuernavaca center. Illich was not surprised. Even before his session at the Vatican, he had quietly asked for-and had received-temporary lay status from New York's Archbishop Terence Cooke. Thus he gave up the right to say Mass and perform other priestly functions but also adroitly deprived the Vatican of any effective power of suspension...
Introverts function best in the morning, according to British Psychologist Donald Eric Broadbent, but some other psychologists say that the early risers are egotistical-they get up with the idea the world is waiting for them. Adds one: "There is definite evidence that early risers tend to sleep in pajamas, while late risers sleep in underwear or the nude." Edward Stonehill, a British psychologist, notes: "A man may choose to be a milkman because he likes to get up at 4 a.m., not because he has trained himself to wake early." Other psychologists agree that recalcitrant risers simply...
...looks in the mirror -and there is a creased, faded, fuzzy carbon copy of the youth he once was. He is 40-odd, going to fat, bored with his job and his marriage. So-in the legend-he shaves, puts on his gaudiest tie, phones the boss to say he's not coming in, says so long to his wife, and walks off arm in arm with his mistress to find his soul...
