...Allen did not say so, but his diagram points out clearly that a cone-shaped area over the magnetic poles is almost radiation-free. Obvious conclusion: the space ports of the future may have to be in far northern Canada or Antarctica, where men can soar into space through the escape zones over the magnetic poles, thus eluding the lethal hazards of the Van Allen belt...
...singing, which should have been the glory of the performance, was disturbingly uneven. Soprano Rysanek's warm, lambent voice was as beautiful as ever, but she displayed an alarming tendency to soar to high notes and then to wander around dazedly for several bars while she tried to come down again. Bjoerling's lyric tenor lacked the heroic style that the role of Radames demands, and Gobbi was far from his compelling best. Only Mezzo Simionato sang with the range, color and fire that her fans have come to expect of her. The voices of the supporting singers...
...like to induce the American male to take as intense an interest in his own clothes as he does in his wife's apparel. If the average U.S. man spent as much of his income on clothing today as he did in 1929, sales of textile products would soar by some $3 billion a year...
...Office of Naval Research and the National Science Foundation are the principal sponsors of this sort of space research. For weeks two Navy scientists have been standing by in South Dakota, waiting for a break in the weather to soar aloft in a "Strato-lab" balloon carrying a 16-in. Schmidt telescope. Target of the flight will be Mars, now unusually close to the earth. When Mars is photographed by surface telescopes, the fine detail on its surface is blurred by turbulence in the atmosphere. There should be little or no turbulence above the 16-mile (80,000-ft.) level...
Traces from Space. A longer-range project is a monster balloon 400 ft. high that will rise some time next summer from the deck of an aircraft carrier and soar to a height of 23 miles (120,000 ft.). Below it will dangle an aluminum cylinder containing 600 specially designed photographic plates in a stack 2 ft. high and 21 in. wide. The balloon is expected to stay up for 48 hours. When it descends, a swarm of airplanes and ships will track it and rescue the cylinder...
