Sophomore Tom Spengler, moving strongly over the last two miles, out-galloped Hoss to the wire for third place, finishing with a three-second margin in 22:40. Close behind the B.U. captain was Harvard senior Tim McLoone, McLoone, reestablishing himself as a contender for a slot in the Crimson top five, was never out of contact with Colburn, Spengler, and Hoss and finished strongly in his best race to date...
...Test Pilot to see exactly how Clark Gable flipped back his goggles. For a series of quick shots focusing on a variety of stomachs for Alka-Seltzer, he spent ten days "interviewing abdomens," auditioned 40 belly dancers until he found one without stretch marks around her navel. In one three-second shot of a boxer battering the stomach of his opponent, he used Middleweights Johnny Cesario and Joey Archer. The scene was so realistic that Cesario, caught in the cheers of the extras, the smoke and the popping flash bulbs, confided during a break: "I can take this...
...system hinges on the installation of an atomic clock and a 40-lb. computer mechanism in every U.S. commercial aircraft. At three-second intervals, precisely timed signals from the computers would surround each aircraft with a protective electronic bubble. When one bubble touched another, the system would trigger an audio-visual alarm and possibly give the pilots a harmless electric shock. In today's jets, the warning would come 60 seconds prior to possible collision, when the aircraft were about 20 miles apart. Twenty seconds later, after electronic analysis of courses, speeds and altitudes, the sensor-computers would signal...
...three-second burn from the backward-firing thrusters, for example, will increase an astronaut's forward velocity by one foot per second. Because there is no air friction to slow him down, the astronaut will have to use his forward-firing thrusters for exactly three seconds to stop his forward motion as he approaches his destination. If his timing is inaccurate, he may crash into his target or wind up bouncing back and forth like a celestial ping pong ball...
...thoughts are constantly on France, but he has come to identify France with his own personality. Thus, appropriately adjusted, de Gaulle's coefficient is actually one minute, 30 seconds. Similarly, the former American ambassador to India, John Kenneth Galbraith, Paul M. Warburg Professor of Economics, has a McL-C of one minute, 51 seconds, the lowest in the Federal government. However, if Richard Nixon should be elected President next year, his three-second coefficient would make a record...
