...parties. The subject of broken families raises the specter of welfare cheating charges, an issue to which Newburgh, New York, gave its name, but which Governor Reagan has brought to a point of high political style. Further, Negro leaders and activists are apt themselves to come from the most solid, even rigid family backgrounds and probably have real difficulty pecreiving or acknowledging the realities of lower-class life. And so on, down a long line of reasons, any one of which is sufficient to explain why, even when the subject is broached, as in the Howard speech, it barely makes...
...questions and agreed enthusiastically with nearly everything the star witness said. To Secretary of State Dean Rusk, appearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, it must have seemed like a remembrance of days past-those halcyon, pre-Viet Nam days when he could be sure that he had a solid majority of the committee behind him. The matter under discussion, a consular treaty with the Soviet Union, might itself have been the cause of some nostalgia, for it has been waiting a long time for ratification by the Senate...
...about 200° below zero centigrade. When Bedford died on Jan. 12, his physician, Dr. B. Renault Able, began to pack the body in ice. Members of the Cryonics Society of California arrived to help. They spent eight hours, sending out periodically for more ice, getting the body frozen solid. They used artificial respiration and external heart massage to protect the brain from oxygen-loss damage until it was frozen, drained out the blood and replaced it with antifreeze solutions. Then Professor Bedford's icy body was flown to Phoenix, where Edward Hope, a wigmaker by trade, waited with...
...gravitational force of the new satellite was so powerful that it raised great "tides" in the solid earth, literally causing it to bulge in the direction of the moon (a smaller bulge was raised on the opposite side of the earth). Because the moon moved more slowly across the sky when it was at its far-out apogee than the surface of the earth revolved below it, the bulge tended to lead the moon. Its gravity thus pulled forward on the moon. At perigee, when the moon was moving across the sky faster than the earth's rotation...
Pursuing scientific inquiry into the applications of solid-state physics, Bell Laboratories Physicist William Shockley played a major role in the invention of the junction transistor, shared a 1956 Nobel Prize for his efforts, and made a substantial impact on technology and society. Now on the faculty of Stanford University, he is creating yet another stir by advocating a similar approach in a science far afield from his own. In speeches and interviews during the past three years, Shockley has charged that the scientific community has been ignoring or blocking research into possible differences in the genetic makeup of races...
