Third, rain plays havoc with the chances of a favored selection. Sore-legged horses and horses with small hooves (sons and daughters of Olympia, for example) improve their performance over a wet track. The extent of the rainfall can also be significant. On a sloppy track the front-runner prospers. In gummy footing--good, muddy, slow, heavy--a stretch runner has the edge, provided he does not mind glop being kicked...
Saturday, July 19 A.A.U. TRACK AND FIELD MEET (CBS, 4:30-6 p.m.). The U.S., U.S.S.R. and British Commonwealth compete at the Los Angeles Coliseum...
Because the moon rotates on its axis only about one-thirtieth as fast as the earth, stars move slowly across the lunar skies, making it easier to track and photograph them. Because lunar gravity is only one-sixth the earth's, structural distortions caused by the sheer weight of large telescope mirrors and their supports will be dramatically lessened. Some scientists have estimated that telescope mirrors as large as 2,000 in. in diameter (ten times the earth's largest) could be used effectively on the moon...
Lunar gravity is relatively so weak, as a matter of fact, that some scientists have suggested launching spacecraft by simply accelerating them with electrical power along a track. Unimpeded by atmospheric friction, the vehicles could accelerate very rapidly, limited only by the maximum gravity that their cargo could withstand. An unmanned craft designed to take a force of 50 G's, for example, could reach escape velocity on a track only four miles long. Manned ships, whose passengers could not be exposed to so high a G-force, would need a track considerably longer...
...farthest plant or subsidiary only hours away by air, many executives get into the habit of dashing off on grueling one-day inspection trips-and thus work ever harder in the office, trying to catch up. Typically, Goodyear Chairman Russell DeYoung last year jetted 104,000 miles to keep track of the company's business...
