Fans of both teams had better come to the game well-supplied today. Although the sun will shine, the mercury will only reach the 40's. Tonight, cover up for sub-freezing temperatures. The Weather Bureau advises you to check your car's anti-freeze after you get home...
...viruses. In 1944, Harvard Virologist Monroe Eaton found in the sputum of some pneumonia patients an agent that caused PAP. So far, researchers have not been able to prove for sure that "Eaton Agent" is a virus. It goes through fine filters and thus seems to fall in the sub-bacterial size-range of the viruses. Like some other viruses, it can be grown in chick embryos and hamsters. Using new fluorescent techniques, researchers have traced the antibodies that are formed to fight the Eaton Agent. But they have never been able positively to single out the presumed virus...
Easy, isn't it--but remember that we're doing sub-miniature work. Our coils must be wound with wire so fine it's hardly visible. Our diamond tip must be perfectly rounded and polished to .0007"--that's seven TEN-THOUSANDTHS of an inch. And, most important of all, the whole needle and needle-arm assembly must be perfectly free to trace grooves as fine as 2,000 vibrations per inch (our math upon request); must be perfectly free from resonances in the range of frequencies possible in the plastic; must be mounted in such a way that...
...Cape Canaveral last week, the nation's newest and biggest Polaris submarine, the Ethan Allen, slipped into the Atlantic to test-shoot its first missile. Shortly before firing time. Captain Paul Lacy took the Ethan Allen up to periscope depth to check the relative positions of his sub and its target by means of a remarkable celestial-navigation system that can shoot the stars, by day as well as by night, in any kind of weather. From a small Datico testing computer plugged into the Polaris itself came the signal that every one of the missile's million...
...Benefits of Fallout. Conspicuously missing from the list of prime contract bidders on Project Apollo is Tom Jones's Northrop Corp. But no matter who wins it, Northrop stands to pick up fat sub contracts...
