Shepard says speed will be the important motor in the game, and he is revisiting his lineup in order to keep up with the quicker Penn team. Gerry Murphy will replace the slower but bigger Ed Blodnick. The other forward is Bill Dennis. Dick Lionette will start at center, while Ed Krinsky and Ed Condon will be at the guards...
Because the machine turns out answers faster than the electric typewriter can print them, answers are first recorded on another tape which is channeled to a tape render. The answers are then relayed to the battery of four typewriters at a slower clip...
Against the enemy's swarming MIG-155, U.S. Sabre jet pilots more than held their own last week. They lost three Sabres to the Red jets' cannon, but downed twelve MIGs, damaged 14 more. The U.N.'s slower tactical planes had the usual good hunting against ground targets, but paid for it heavily. Three F-84s, four F-80s, four F-51s, a B-26 light bomber and a Corsair were lost to the enemy's sharpshooting flak crews. In number of U.N. planes lost-16 in all-it was the worst week...
...pair of English chemists, W. G. Glendinning and A. M. MacLennan. Four years ago, the two scientists set out to compare the "explodability" of kerosene and gasoline vapors. When they first blew up test mixtures of kerosene mist, they discovered that the intricate process of combustion was much slower than they had expected. It took all of one-hundredth of a second for the expanding pressure of the explosion to rise one pound per square inch. That left "bags of time," they decided, to quench an accidental explosion before it could cause any damage...
...quite the same old Vishinsky, the corrosive purveyor of wise saws and ancient instances- he was slower and less certain of himself, and his wit was chillier. But it was the same old Soviet line, with a few new twists to adjust to the passage of a year. For disarmament, Vishinsky wanted a world disarmament conference, to sit by next June; for Korea, he insisted on a truce at the 38th parallel and an evacuation of all foreign troops; for the benefit of Communism, he wanted the U.N. to condemn and outlaw the West's North Atlantic defense organization...
