...Dunlap went to McKellar's office to explain his action. The crusty old spoilsman swept aside the Narcotics Bureau report, quavering, "Papers, just papers." Then he bellowed at Dunlap, "You're not fit to hold public office," and for half an hour berated him with a steady stream of vituperation heard plainly by passers-by in the corridor outside. "You are the most despicable man I ever met," he yelled. "You are a filthy, dirty liar and crook. I'm going to run you out of Washington if it's the last thing I ever...
Last week the research ship Albatross of the Woods Hole (Mass.) Oceanographic Institute returned from a 22,000-mile Atlantic cruise with new information about the Gulf Stream obtained by a gadget called the Geomagnetic Electrokinetograph. GEK is a steel box full of vacuum tubes which analyzes electrical information from two electrodes trailed behind the ship. When the ship is swung 90° in one direction and then 180° in the other direction, the electrodes interact with the earth's magnetic field and so measure the motion of the water in relation to the sea's bottom...
...most charts the speed of the Gulf Stream is given as about one knot. After making 1,200 GEK readings, the scientists on the Albatross decided that the stream has been underrated. Between Cape Hatteras and the Grand Bank, it often flows as fast as four or five knots. It also squirms erratically through the Atlantic. Ships steaming through it are sometimes moving with the current and sometimes against it. So their navigators put the average speed of the stream much...
