...itself: is science worth teaching to the non-scientist? The answer seems definitely yes. On the one hand, Harvard graduates are socially critical people, and trite though it may sound, a rudimentary knowledge of science helps provide insight in dealing with political and social issues which scientific developments continually thrust upon us. Just as important, however, is that Harvard's claim to turn out graduates with a modicum of education seems only justified if students are introduced to the basic approaches of science...
...vervets, who can swim underwater for as long as two minutes. The technique of capture is the same for both-one hand grabs the tail, the other the back of the neck. Otherwise the would-be rescuer is in danger of literally losing his face. The apes are then thrust into cages on the boats and later released on the shore of the lake...
Though Titan's second stage in this shoot was only a water-ballasted dummy, the first stage's performance (300,000-lb. thrust, U.S.'s biggest) promised that the hard-base missile (TIME, Oct. 13) would be ready for defense operation next year. The bird's now-certain role: temporary plug in the missile gap between the deterrent power of the Strategic Air Command's manned bombers and the oncoming solid-fuel Navy Polaris and Air Force Minuteman...

One day, as Maïté was leaving her small hotel near the Etoile, a man thrust a card into her hand, said: "There's money in it for you." The card bore the telephone number of Jean Lacaze, Dominique's brother...
...guidance and control purposes, solid-fuel rockets are normally loaded with fuel to full capacity. Thus when one of them is fired at a target short of the maximum range, something must be done to cut off or slow the thrust when the rocket reaches the necessary speed. The flow of liquid fuels can be controlled by valves or pumps. Comparable control can be achieved with solids, said Ritchey, by opening small apertures upstream from the nozzle. The gas that leaks out through them reduces the pressure in the combustion chamber, and the thrust falls...
