...Burmese for permitting the showing of the Nat "King" Cole film China Gate, and even protested when a soccer team from Hong Kong played in Rangoon. And so in Burma Tito got a formal 21-gun salute and the usual round of dinners and conferences, but he cut short his two-day visit by five hours...
Behind the well-starched prose of this memo, sent out last week by the U.S. Army's Adjutant General Robert Lee, lay the sleepless vigilance of the organization known for short as P.O.A.U., and for long as Protestants and Other Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

But P.O.A.U.'s uneasiness mounted to anxiety when it caught wind of what seemed to its officials a movement to dedicate...
Near the rim of the earth's gravitational pit is a much smaller pit belonging to the moon. An object shot away from the earth at 24,800 m.p.h. will reach the boundary, about 34,000 miles short of the moon, where the moon's pull is as strong as the earth's. If it reaches this point with a small velocity, it will fall on the moon. If it crosses the line at good speed, it will shoot past the moon, its course merely deflected. This is what happened to the Lunik...
...communication. It will do no good to send a space probe to Mars if communication with it is lost, as happened to Lunik soon after it passed the moon. Radio signals can cover any desired distance if given sufficient power, but the only power sources now available are heavy, short-lived chemical batteries or feeble solar batteries. To tell its story properly from the distance of Mars, a probe needs as much power as an earth-side radio station. One possibility is a nuclear battery getting its energy from radioactive materials. Another (one form of which was invented by Professor...
...Labbe brothers sparked the Friar attack, collecting five points between them. Sophomore Joe Keough contributed two goals, both coming on short-range blasts to the far corner of the cage. Good play at the points, especially by Captain George Boudreau, aided the Providence power play which the Crimson seemed to be unable to control--at least during the first two periods...
