CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 6--A rocket similar to the German V2 now in American hands is capable of shooting a man to the 186-mile height reportedly achieved by the Russians, a scientist said tonight...
This year, as usual, many of you nominated your own candidates (see LETTERS). Among the nominees: Billy Graham, Governor Faubus, Laika, Jonas Salk, President Eisenhower, Bert and Harry Piel, Khrushchev, Nobel Prizewinner Lester Pearson, Mike Todd and two, symbolic nominees, the scientist and the American Negro...
Last week, before an international conference of A-scientists at Stanford, Researcher Hofstadter reported on the evidence uncovered by his rebounding electrons. His findings indicate that the neutron has no precisely defined core and cloud. Instead, the positive charge that had once been attributed to a core now seems to be intermingled throughout the particle with the negatively charged cloud of mesons. To the 200 delegates (including four Russians) this was disquieting news. Said one American scientist: "The theoretical idea of the neutron structure must be re-examined,"-i.e., back to the laboratories...
...Wright Brothers Lecture was the latest honor for jovial Bachelor Allen, 47, a dedicated NACA scientist for 21 years. When Allen suggested in 1952 that the heating problem caused by the re-entry of a ballistic missile into the earth's atmosphere might be solved by a blunt-nose cone, highly resistant to the air, many of his colleagues were skeptical. The prevailing theory backed a needle-shaped cone that would offer minimum aerodynamic drag. Allen's blunt shape built up temperatures in the tens of thousands of degrees, but it saved the cone from melting away...
