...loop-and that's made the difference." Without a man on board a spacecraft, there is no judgment aloft, no freedom of choice, no chance to take advantage of unforeseen opportunities, less chance than ever of getting past unforeseen trouble. Ranger's pictures of the moon, spectacular though they were, contain only 500,000 "bits" of information; the human eye with one glance takes in 100 million "bits." In short, however intricately engineered, no instrument, no computer can quite replace man. As one scientist observed, "You can study a girl's measurements, but it will never...
...bothering to jump. Loyola of Chicago's Coach George Ireland tried a "collapsing" defense in which as many as three players converged on Alcindor every time he got the ball. Alcindor blocked at least ten shots, pulled down 20 rebounds, and scored 35 points, including two on a spectacular backward "dunk" shot-whirling, leaping, reaching up over his head, ramming the ball through the hoop from behind. Score: U.C.L.A. 82, Loyola...
Their most spectacular find occurred on May 30, 1965, when the blaster uncovered an area that was, as Wagner put it, "a solid carpet of gold. The coins were lying two and three deep and some were even stacked in piles." All told, in seven summers of diving, the treasure hunters recovered an estimated $3,000,000 worth of jewelry, pottery, artifacts, navigational gear, silver and gold-some of the gold ingots weighing 9 and 10 lbs. apiece. Nor has the gold lost its luster. Last week collectors were happy to pay up to $9,000 for a single gold...
...miss the tree, hard enough to reach the green, high enough to clear a trap-and then stop. Whack-8 ft. from the pin. Putting? On the 12th hole, Nicklaus ran in a 25-footer, on the 16th a 40-footer, on the 17th a 15-footer. In one spectacular burst, starting at the 12th, Jack birdied five out of six holes, for a back-nine score of 31 and a total of 68-four under par. At the end, Casper was five strokes back, Palmer seven. "Head-to-head competition is pure fun," said Nicklaus, pocketing his winner...
...water vapor, carbon dioxide and nitrogen. Thus, the capture of the moon by the earth may well have produced an atmosphere much earlier in the earth's history than anyone had heretofore believed- and led to the evolution of life itself. Terrestrial gravity had an even more spectacular effect on the newly arrived moon. In addition to tidal heating and volcanic activity on the moon as it approached perigee, great chunks may well have been torn from the lunar surface-only to fall back onto the moon near apogee, when the earth's gravitational force was lessened. This...
