Atomic Energy Commission scientists last week were "keyed up and ready" to take the U.S. into a new high level of nuclear testing. First shot on the agenda: a giant skyrocket exploding not more than 60 miles above Johnston Island, its sub-megaton flash visible in Hawaii 700 miles away, its power sending waves of electrical disturbance around the earth to be picked up by sensitive instruments...
Most interesting test scientifically, and the most hotly criticized, is a sub-megaton shot to be exploded at about 500 miles altitude. It will be high enough to have a direct effect on the lower levels of the Van Allen belt. AEC scientists think it will create a "magnetic bubble" hundreds of miles in diameter that will distort the lines of force of the earth's magnetic field. The bubble will probably disappear after 30 to 40 minutes, but while it lasts, it will be an obstacle to the free movement of particles in the radiation belt. Some...
...restricts its membership to graduate students specializing in political science and modern history. Its Warlen--a friend, appropriately enough, of Churchill's,--is W. Deakin, whose reports on the Jugoslav partisans of the war helped substantially to convince the British to hit their support to Tito; its sub-Warden (a sort of Senior Tutor) is James Joll, the ruddy, fluent, enormously charming visiting lecturer who taught Franklin Ford's course on German history this Spring...
...broke water. Inside the boat an aviation warrant officer gazed through the eyepiece. Through prismed glass, he saw a sandy coastline, a haze-covered mountain range and, dead ahead, the unmistakable shape of Oregon's Cape Blanco lighthouse. The time was dawn on Sept. 9, 1942, and the sub was the 1,950-ton Japanese 1-25, on station 25 days after leaving Yokosuka...
