...committee declared in the "West helmer Report" that research in chemistry is severely under-supported. The financial support per Ph.D. graduate in chemistry ranges from one-fifth to one-thirtieth the support per Ph.D. in astronomy, physics, and the earth sciences, the report said, and as a result many worthwhile projects are not even attempted...
...pictures, writing an arrangement for Ella Fitzgerald of a song he has written (called Yes), and rehearsing (in New York City) for an appearance with Benny Goodman on TV's Swing into Spring. In Hollywood he barely had time to drop in at the Pantages Theater on his thirtieth birthday to collect a glittering memento of his most recent success: an Oscar (see SHOW BUSINESS) for his scoring of the musical Gigi...
With the oxygen circuit closed, and their metabolism rising with exertion, they sent the CO2 level soaring at a rate of 1% a minute (normal at sea level: about one-thirtieth of 1%). In ten minutes, the C02 level was nudging 12%. This .was about the limit. But Dr. Balke found that his conditioned subjects kept full consciousness longer than lowlanders. Also, they sensed more quickly (thanks to training) the reflexes that indicate the onset of CO2 giddiness. So they would have more time to do something about it. Aside from advantages in regard to the bends...
...action." All further impulses go on the fast-action fiber. How far the grasshopper leaps depends on the number of impulses it sends its leg muscles: one impulse produces a hop; two a "moderate jump"; three an all-out effort. Somehow the grasshopper gets all this done in one-thirtieth of a second. Marvels Grasshopperman Hoyle: "A superb example of natural economy...
...Grossly exaggerated the dangers of fallout from H-bomb tests; the four-month-old, nonpolitical National Academy of Sciences report found that the radioactive fallout from hydrogen tests, if continued for the next 30 years at the rate of the last five, would amount to about one-thirtieth of the dose the average person would receive from routine X ray and fluoroscopic examinations. Atomic Energy Commissioner Willard Libby has said that even if tests were to continue at the present rate indefinitely, the quantity of radioactive Strontium 90 in humans might increase only to 64/1,000ths of the "maximum permissible...
