...American science in the next generation must, quite literally, double and redouble in size and strength." So said the President's Science Advisory Committee last fall, and it sounded reasonable enough-without a price tag. Last week the National Science Foundation, which promotes U.S. basic research and science education, produced the tag. The staggering price of scientific expansion over the next decade: more than $50 billion...
When geophysicists tag the rock strata under the ocean, they call the ocean water the first layer. On the bottom is the second layer: sediment and sedimentary rock averaging 1 km. thick. Below it lies the third layer, which seismic waves have proved to be made of unusually heavy rock. The third layer is normally unreachable, but scientists making a seismic survey in 1959 got hints that it might be exposed on the sides of the Puerto Rico Trench. In 1960 Dr. Earl Hays of Woods Hole took photographs showing fractured rock on the trench's north wall...
...recalls. Then he fell under the influence of a "wonderful old country doctor." Now Specialist Larson concedes that "no doubt he was more wonderful as an unforgettable character than as a doctor.

...almost like walking around in a slip," says a Henri Bendel buyer. "As soon as a dress gets busy, it moves out of the little-nothing class." Only the richness and rarity of the dress's fabric and its careful, ingenious cut suggest its price tag-from about $200 to more than $500 in designer originals. Designers are now fashioning little nothings in all materials from pique to brocade, and in all colors, thus setting them apart from that older fashion cliche, the little black dress. The fall collections suggest that most people have already had enough of this...
...years as President has forged an independent democracy that neither bows to nor automatically defies the U.S. He is a popular, intuitive democrat who mixes freely with his 1,950,000 people. Right-wingers rumble but are no threat. The left, which has been trying to tag Villeda as an opportunist, was itself highly pleased when the International Development Association in Washington last week granted Honduras a $9,000.000 (50 years, interest-free) loan for highways, the first granted by the new agency, known as the "soft-term window" of the "hard-term" World Bank...
