...peace than war," Vaughn reminded the House Foreign Affairs Committee. "But it still costs a lot." Last week the message got through. While the House panel followed the Senate in trimming 3% from his requested budget, in a period of all-round retrenchment so small a cut represented a solid vote of confidence in the Peace Corps...
...Woman Tone." Formed a year ago because each member was the others' favorite performer (as their rather haughty name implies), Cream comprise three prickly egos, each with solid claims of his own to individual distinction...
...Injuries. Lombardi's defense is the same solid rock, allowing just 54 points in five games, fewest in the league. The offense is the rub. In five games the Packers scored only 87 points to rank a lamentable twelfth out of 16 teams; 22 times they lost the ball on fumbles and interceptions v. 24 times for the entire 1966 season. Injury-benched Fuzzy Thurston is no longer opening up truck-size holes at guard; age appears to be robbing Forrest Gregg, Jerry Kramer and Bob Skoronski of their speed and timing. In the backfield, the Packers sorely miss...
...Consider a world so cold," says Union Carbide Engineer Roger Thompson, "that the very air you breathe turns to liquid or freezes as solid as a block of ice, where steel is as brittle as glass, a rubber ball shatters when it hits the floor, and lead is an almost perfect conductor of electricity." The odd goings-on described by Engineer Thompson all occur in the far-out world of cryogenics-the science of ultra-low temperatures...
...superconductors makes them ideal for use in computers; when they are placed in a magnetic field, their electrical resistance reappears. Thus by alternately applying and withdrawing a magnetic field, scientists can turn a superconductor into an on-off switching device many times faster (and many times smaller) than the solid-state semiconductors now used computers. With cryogenic techniques, a closet-size computer could fit in a shoe box. Cryogenics will also make possible such esoteric devices as loss-free superconductive motors with rotors that float in liquid helium, and superconductive gyroscopes that float in frictionless magnetic fields...
