...they are, and if Harvard has any meaning to this identity. Most of them view their problem in physically overwhelming terms, that of ordering their cosmos, of finding their place in the the universe. Sometimes there are other questions, such as "Am I a homosexual?' but these are only sub-forms; the main question is asked in cosmological terms. When they do come back to Harvard the reaction to these questions might be summarized, 'I still wonder about all that, but it doesn't matter as much...
...Navy to the House Armed Services Committee, is a remarkable batch of photographs of Russian W class and other class submarines on the surface near Cape Hatteras, N.C., Narragansett Bay, R.I. and more generally "in Atlantic waters." Russia's long-range submarines-perhaps about half of the 500-sub Red fleet - apparently make a point of staying outside the three-mile limit, thus exert their legal right to watch such U.S. coastal phenomena as missile tests at Cape Canaveral, thus present the U.S. Navy a legal opportunity to test antisubmarine hunter-killer techniques of sonar, radar, camera and what...
...been generally taken for granted that the carbon monoxide in the air would disappear when diesel engines were replaced with atomic reactors, said Dr. Dobbins. Not so; the monoxide danger has become worse. Reason: while the diesel sub had to have fresh outside air blown through on an average of every twelve hours, the atomic sub uses its original quota of air as long as it stays down. And that air is fouled by crew members' smoking, which in time can produce a higher monoxide level than did the old diesels. Both carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide must...
...matter where the experts may eventually fix the dose of radiation that can be considered safe, Commander Dobbins was sure that atomic sub crews-within a few yards of the reactor for 24 hours a day-so far have been exposed to only a fraction of permissible totals. When industry goes into full-scale production and operation of reactors for civilian power needs, it will have an invaluable body of data collected from the first men to go under the sea in atomic vessels...
...satellites, which he prefers to call a sub-satellite, is so light that it can be carried almost as an afterthought by any orbit-bound rocket. It is a balloon of plastic film .00025 in. thick, bonded to aluminum foil .0005 in. thick and packed in a doughnut-shaped container. To inflate the balloon, O'Sullivan provides a capsule of nitrogen gas at 2,000 Ibs. pressure per square inch. The whole apparatus weighs only...
