Strengths and weaknesses, however, are opposite sides of the same coin. Qualities of personal integrity and moral conscience are not enough to counteract the sub-rational and even sub-human forces of the modern world. There is something depressing in reading the record of Welles' career: highly praised but abortive plans for peace conferences in 1939, polite missions to the Axis leaders, "lucid and well-informed" reports on the Munich crisis. It is a kind of tragic record of the death throes of personal diplomacy. A man of wit, fore-night, honor, and good-will was totally incapable of deflecting...
...most undergraduates relaxed in warm, sunny climes this summer, a group from the Harvard Mountaineering Club spent 23 days climbing Mt. Logan in the Canadian Yukon amid one of the area's worst storms. The five-member expedition was trapped in 60mile-an-hour blowing snow and sub-zero temperatures but escaped with only a minor case of frostbite to one of the climbers...
...space program, Project Mercury, scored its greatest triumph last week, when with infinite precision, the robot-manned Mercury capsule MA4 was boosted into orbit, permitted to circle the earth, then brought down and recovered in good condition. Despite all the excitement stirred up by the short, sub-orbital flights of Astronauts Alan Shepard and Virgil Grissom, last week's achievement was far more significant...
Scientists could only observe and record the pattern of devastation, and pile up data against the day when they may learn how to trick a hurricane into sub mission. One thing the weathermen could claim credit for now: their accurate, timely alarm. Carla did enormous property damage, perhaps a billion dollars' worth, but took few lives. The well-warned people of coastal Louisiana and Texas had fled to safety in the greatest mass exodus in U.S. history. Only a comparative few were killed. There was no mass tragedy as when Hurricane Audrey flooded Cameron, La., in 1957 and killed...
...limited frequency range and is subject to static and other kinds of interference. MPX, on the other hand, uses a single transmitter that carries two sets of signals simultaneously to a single FM stereo tuner. The main carrier contains a combination of left and right (L+R) signals; a sub-carrier (the multiplex part) transmits the "difference" between the two signals (L - R). When the two arrive at the tuner, the MPX circuitry divides them again...
