While Johnson was in Salt Lake City, 1,300 Democrats gathered in the Terrace Ball Room to select Utah's delegation to the Democratic Convention. The sentiment at the meeting was strong for Jack Kennedy and Stuart Symington, with some residual strength going for Adlai Stevenson. It is doubtful that Johnson picked up a single delegate vote in the three states he visited (total convention strength: 49 votes), but he did leave a good impression of L.B.J., the moderate, responsible candidate, and if the convention should become deadlocked, Johnson will find some new second-or third-round friends...
...Adam ("Ah-DAHM") and ending with Eugene Ysaye ("OY-jen Ee-SI-ya"). It also includes 134 operas, 55 ballets, 47 tone poems and suites, 62 conductors, 61 instrumentalists, 72 singers, ten operatic and orchestral groups, and 161 musical terms. From this generous supply every player must, of course, select his own repertory of names. A good random beginner's list might include Hector Berlioz ("EC-tor BEAR-li-oss"), Emil Waldteufel ("VAAL-toy-ful"), Kurt Weill's Die Dreigrosch-enoper ("Dee Dry-GROSH-en-oper"), Puccini's Gianni Schicchi ("Johnny SKEE-ky"), Prokofiev's ballet, Chout ("Shoo!"), Conductor Eugen...
...last of the sly oldtimers is E. J. ("Dutch") Harrison, 50. With a younger player watching, Harrison will occasionally choose the wrong iron for a shot, choke upon the grip, curb his swing and loft the ball to the green. His opponent, noting the club Harrison has used, will select the same one, blithely swing full-out?and send his ball soaring far beyond the green into a trap...
...possibility of messages from civilizations outside the solar system is Harvard's Nobel Prize-winning Edward Mills Purcell, who with Harold I. Ewen was the first to detect the 21-cm. waves. If nonsolar aliens are sending messages to earth, theorizes Purcell, their first problem is to select the proper radio frequency, and their most likely choice is 21 cm., the sharpest and most universal radio waves that flash through space. Such aliens would reason that if earthlings have an electronic technology, they would know about the 21-cm. waves, and would be tuned to them...
...transmitted directly, or they can be recorded on magnetic tape. The satellite's masters on earth can tell it what to do. From Fort Monmouth, for example, they can tell it to start taking pictures when it is over Czechoslovakia a few minutes later. They can also select which camera to use. One camera has a wide-angle lens and takes pictures of an 800-mile square of the earth. The other camera has a narrow-angle lens that pictures, in more detail, a smaller area. The narrow lens camera has an obvious potential for military reconnaissance-so some...
