...compartments through opened seams and defective plugs in the underside. There have been 30 reported cases of such leakages, and carbon monoxide was blamed for four deaths in Chevrolet Impalas. Another possible danger in some 20 models is a plastic cam, used to regulate the engine's idle speed, that has at times broken and dropped into the throttle linkage, jamming the accelerator and making it difficult to stop...
Borman was informed of his overtime by University of Maryland Physicist Carroll Alley who, at the request of NASA officials, calculated the effects on the astronauts of two phenomena described by Einstein's relativity equations: 1) time actually runs slower for an object as its speed increases-the so-called "time dilation" effect, and 2) time speeds up for an object as it moves away from a body (like the earth) exerting a gravitational force...
While Apollo 8 was within 4,000 miles of the earth, Alley found, the spacecraft's speed was the predominant factor; time slowed up and the astronauts actually aged more slowly than mere earthlings. But beyond that distance, as the effects of earth's gravity lessened, Apollo's time began running fast. Over the entire journey, Alley says, Apollo's time passed more quickly than earth time by the 300 microseconds...
Where can hippies turn for medical help? Increasingly, many of them look to the column of Doctor HIPpocrates, the surgeon-general of the sandal-and-speed set. They call him "Dr. HIP," but his real name is Eugene Schoenfeld. He got his schooling at the University of California, the University of Miami, the Yale University Department of Public Health and Albert Schweitzer's hospital in Africa.
