...chief, James ("Scotty") Reston, "the Washington Monument stands up a little straighter." Flinty old (83) Poet Frost proved to Pundit Reston that he is no slacker at punditry himself. Frost welcomes the struggle and decision-making that make life tough-and neither the Russians, nor their satellites (terrestrial or spatial) upset him a bit: "We ought to enjoy a standoff. Let it stand and deepen in meaning. Let's not be hasty about showdowns. Let's be patient and confident with our country." As optimistic as he is individualistic, Robert Frost summed up his poet...

Snow's truer character lay revealed in Ukichiro Nakaya's authoritative "Snow Crystals." Besides the run-of-the-mill hexagonal-plane dendritic form crystals, there are spatial dendritic, pyramid and columnar, bullet, needle and graupel types, to mention a handful. Of especial interest was the Tsuzumi type, so named because of its resemblance to a Tsuzumi, a Japanese tom-tom. It is a hard crystal to describe, but picture a Tsuzumi and you nearly have...
Preliminary plans for the Green Bank telescope were drawn up nearly three years ago. The new $2,000,000 telescope will have a 140-ft. paraboloid antenna (second in size only to the 250-ft. antenna being constructed in England) which should allow it to pick up spatial wave lengths never before recorded. Specifically, the astronomers hope that they will be able to "see through" the great drifting clouds of hydrogen, which have previously occupied their attention, to more interesting clouds of the deuterium atom (heavy hydrogen...
