...nights and a day, the 17,000-ton missile cruiser Canberra cut through an uneasy sea in rain and fog that blotted out the destroyers Barton and Wood port and starboard. Finally, on the second day, after knifing through the Gulf Stream, Canberra moved into the Bahama Islands' 100-mile-long Exuma Sound to be welcomed by warm sun and blue sky.

...burning up due to friction when it hits the relatively dense atmosphere of the earth at 20,000 m.p.h. To study this friction in the laboratory, Dr. Gabriel M. Giannini, a close friend of the late Atomic Physicist Enrico Fermi, is building a device called a "plasma jet." A stream of inert gas such as argon is passed through a high intensity electric discharge. The resulting heat forces a jet of highly ionized gas out a small hole at enormous speed and temperature (even a small jet will quickly chew through a steel plate). Since the jet is largely ionized...
