...best, Oregon's Dyrol Burleson, in a new American record time of 3:56.1; at Los Angeles Coliseum Relays. Burleson clung to the pace for three laps, but on the final go-round Snell turned on his famous kick, sprinted the last 220 yds. in a blazing 24.5 sec., hit the tape more than...
Nothing Negotiable. In attempts to explain the May 14 selloff, Wall Street analysts fell back on a melange of conventional reasons: the unsophisticated investor's fears of the Laos crisis, President Kennedy's treatment of the steel industry, and SEC's much-publicized investigation of Wall Street. The most popular verdict was that the market was "testing" its May 14 low point. If it broke through that low, the analysts solemnly explained, it would go still lower; if it did not, it would probably go higher. "This," gibed New York Times Financial Reporter Burton Crane...
...SEC for permission to sell stock to the public. The pioneer was not one of Madison Avenue's Goliaths but Papert, Koenig, Lois, Inc., a fast-rising newcomer that in four years of existence has boosted its annual billings from $69,000 to $5,900,000 on accounts ranging from Exquisite Form bras to Wolfschmidt vodka...
Smullin and Fiocco estimate that each of its 1/2,000-sec. flashes squirted 2 X 10 21 (200 billion trillion) photons of light toward the moon. Most of these tiny bits of light got there, but those reflected by the moon's rough, dark surface scattered widely. Only a few of them bounced back to Lincoln Lab. Bunched together by a 48-in. telescope, the returning photons were sent through a filter that passed only light of the laser's wave length. Then the photons were picked up by a sensitive photocell...
...engineers figure that only a dozen photons from each flash completed the round trip. But they arrived after the proper time interval (about 2.5 sec.), which proved that they had actually gone to the moon and back. This was the first time a segment of space had been spanned by laser light. And it may well mark a milestone in space communication. When they learn to beef up their lasers, scientists hope to use them to talk between planets...
