Continuous Spin. Oyama's longevity findings were an unexpected byproduct of experiments to learn something about the effects of prolonged space travel upon astronauts, who will soon be spending months in orbit under conditions of weightlessness, and exploring the moon, which has only one-sixth of earth's gravity. Reduced gravity over so long a period of time, space scientists fear, may produce effects that did not emerge during the relatively short manned space flights made to date...
...year, during two intervals when Mercury and Earth were on opposite sides of the sun, a team led by Physicist Irwin Shapiro bounced high-frequency signals from M.I.T.'s exceptionally precise Haystack radar antenna off the planet Mercury. On their way to and from Mercury, the signals, which travel at the speed of light, had to pass close to the sun. During these passages, according to the Einstein equations, solar gravity should have actually slowed them down, lengthening their 23-minute round-trip time to Mercury by one five-thousandth of a second...
Promise of Seniority. To replace the 2,000 employees on strike, Hearst has hired 1,200 non-union personnel. Some are professional strikebreakers who travel from one struck paper to the next. But most of them come from suburban papers around Los Angeles, and they aim to stay on. They have been promised that they can keep their jobs when the strike is ended and that they will even have seniority over the strikers. "I don't like being called a strikebreaker," says a 26-year-old reporter who is making $54 more a week at the Examiner than...
...efforts to ease the U.S. balance of payments problem, the Johnson Administration proposed legislation several weeks ago that would make it more difficult for U.S. citizens to travel outside the Western Hemisphere. Now, in the same cause, the Administration is proposing to make it easier for foreign travelers to come...
Americans, of course, will continue to pay regular prices for most travel in the U.S.-and unless the nation's hoary customs procedures are changed completely, still have their luggage opened when they return from abroad. That will no doubt lead to many a complaint that the U.S. traveler is being discriminated against in his own land...
