...outbreak of World War II, Davidson joined the Canadian Army, eventually becoming commander of Camp T. F. Lawrence, a guerilla warfare unit. After the war he helped rebuild a Dutch town which had been destroyed in battle, led a troop of soldiers to England where they did land work on a British farm, and finally returned to Cambridge and Harvard Law School. A member of Phi Beta Kappa. Davidson has since been engaged in an international law practice and is, at the same time, President of Technical Studies, Inc., which owns twenty-five per cent of the international channel tunnel...
...should murder the Crimson in the sprint and hurdle races, which come in a seemingly endless precession in outdoor meets. In fact, the varsity may not score more than five or six points in the five races of 440 yards or less, and Yale's 3:13.4 mile relay unit should be the biggest shoe-in of the meet...
...chilling to the freezing stage, knock out the stomach's acid factory more completely, and give the patient relief for months or years? The technique should then be a boon to the almost 90% of peptic ulcer cases whose ulcers are in the duodenum (the next lower unit of the digestive tract): cutting down the flow of corrosive juices at their source in the stomach itself would keep them from eating into any part of the lower intestinal wall...
...comparing that time with the earth's own time on its orbit. Since the distances of the planets from the sun are in proportion to their periods of revolution, the radius of the Martian orbit can thus be measured in terms of the basic "astronomical unit": the average distance of the earth from...
Artificial Planet. Trouble is, that the astronomical unit is known with even greater inaccuracy than the speed of light. As Mars curves around its orbit, its measured distance from the earth may be as much as 2,000 miles in error. Dr. Lowther hopes to clear up this unhappy situation by lofting a small satellite into an orbit around the sun. Lowther's satellite would carry extremely sensitive radio equipment to amplify signals from earth and send them back again on a slightly different wave length. This sophisticated radar system would make no use of the speed of light...
