...Murphy's Outhouse. From Southern California's sprawling super-metropolis to the exurbs of New Jersey and Long Island, the middleweights give readers a commodity that increasingly defies the resources of the big-city daily: intensive home-town coverage plus an increasingly sophisticated coverage of world affairs. Now a giant among examples of the trend, Alicia Patterson's broadly curious, ad-fat Newsday (TIME. Sept. 13, 1954) has scooped 268,626 Long Island readers right out of the pants pockets of New York City's seven major dailies since 1940. Under the guns of Los Angeles...
Bruce Chalmers, Gordon McKay Professor of Metallurgy, heads the team working on the project, which is being financed by the National Science Foundation. The exhibit demonstrates how ice forms in super-cooled water...
...Super-cooled water is water which has been chilled to a temperature below zero degrees Centigrade, without being allowed to freeze. When the chilling process stops, the water quickly freezes into small crystals resembling snowflakes...
...guided missiles or interceptor planes, now in the process of being armed with nuclear-warhead rockets. Behind the Pine-tree posts, watching for breakthroughs or for flank attacks from the sea, are a host of additional AC&W units, including lines of offshore picket ships, Air Force RC-121 Super Constellations, Navy ZPG-2W blimps and, in the Atlantic off Cape Cod, a Texas Tower (two others are under construction, off Nantucket and New Jersey...
Protecting the flanks of North America are DEW line extensions far out to sea, maintained by relays of radar-equipped Navy destroyer escorts and WV2 Super Constellations. These mid-ocean lines stretch from the Aleutians to the mid-Pacific and from Newfoundland to the mid-Atlantic. Backing them up will be chains of underwater "listening" lines, now being built parallel to the coasts, to detect and intercept missile-launching submarines several hundred miles out at sea. In addition, a ground DEW line extension is also under construction across the arc of the Aleutian Islands; other holes are plugged...
