Kennedy's findings should alter most theories about the thermal history of the earth, and help scientists learn more about how heat escapes from the earth's interior. In addition, the formula final ly establishes a correct relationship be tween a substance in its solid and liquid states, besides offering a new approach to studies of the melting process. In retrospect, Kennedy's discovery might seem obvious, but the startling truth is that generations of scientists overlooked it. "The profession must be full of asses," says Nobel Prize Chemist Willard Libby, discoverer of the carbon-14 dating...
Beyond the need for additional aircraft, Air Force planners insist that the North can only be bombed effectively if they have permission to hit "source" targets-oil dumps to keep trucks from rolling rather than the trucks themselves or the roads they negotiate, thermal and hydroelectric plants to starve small workshops of power rather than the shops themselves, ammunition factories to cut production rather than smaller, harder-to-hit ammo dumps. The planners maintain that there are more than 50 such targets inviting attack in the North and that they should be hit at least every other...
...their war maps, have pinpointed some 30 prime targets within the envelope, an enclave anchored by the Red River town of Yen Bai in the northwest, crucial harbor ports of Haiphong and Cam Pha in the northeast and Thanh Hoa at the southern apex. Around Hanoi are a thermal power plant, an engineering facility, key bridges and the Phuc Yen airfield, where Chinese-supplied MIG-17s are based. In addition to its vast port, Haiphong's potential targets include two power plants, two cement factories, two airfields and three storage areas that hold 70% of the country...
...supersophisticated sonar that bounces pings off thermal layers in the water, can reach out 35 miles, nearly three times as far as existing sonars; it is standard equipment on all ASW surface ships under construction...
...they know they have studied Venus and not its veil? Dr. Barry Clark of the National Radio Observatory at Green Bank, W.Va., and Dr. Arkady Kuzmin of Moscow's Lebedev Institute of Physics explained that the thermal radiations they observed from Venus seemed to come from a solid surface. Moreover, Caltech's two big-dish antennas found the planet's actual diameter to be less than the 7,655-mile span that is observed optically. As a result, the astronomers assume that they have measured the planet itself and that the dense cloud covering is at least...
