...five-man team of TIME Inc. reporters and photographers covered Operation Chromite at Inchon. Like most other newsmen, they had a tough time of it. Correspondent James Bell, who went in with the third assault wave on Inchon and was present at the taking of Kimpo airdrome, cracked up in a jeep accident (see PRESS) and is now in a Tokyo hospital. Tokyo Bureau Chief Frank Gibney, one of the first four U.S. correspondents to hit the beach at Wolmi Island with the marines, went along with them across the Han River and into Seoul before returning to Tokyo...
Loading Time. No one ate very much lunch (a cold salad of macaroni and ham). At 2:45 p.m. the boat teams prepared to go over the side. I joined Captain Jaskilka's people. We stood there waiting for our wave to load into the landing craft. Ours was the third. The first wave was to hit the 9½ ft. sea wall at Inchon at 5:30 p.m. The second wave would be three minutes later. The third wave was to land at 5:40. These first three waves on Red Beach, a tiny plot of ground...
...stays at the front most of the time. She ranges such a wide beat that her New York office seldom knows where she is. This week, after days of suspiciously un-Higgins-like silence, they learned from her first delayed dispatch that Maggie Higgins had landed with the fifth wave of marines at Inchon and stayed with them under mortar and rifle fire and grenades until the beachhead was secured. She was making good an earlier promise: "I walked out of Seoul, and I want to walk back...
...female's radiation. Tyler knew that many organic chemicals, including some contained in moths, send out characteristic patterns of radiation with peaks on, certain frequencies. So he examined a virgin she-moth with an infrared-recording spectrophotometer. Sure enough. She did not "send" evenly on all wave lengths. Her radiation curve showed a pattern with peaks and valleys. A male equipped to receive infrared might recognize this coded signal as a she-moth's love song...
...male's antennae. Their typical length varied from 40 to 80 microns (.00156 to .00312 inch). A more significant finding: "All variations in the length of the hairs appeared to be close to four microns or multiples thereof. It is noteworthy that four microns is one-half the wave length of eight microns, which is well within the emission band of the female." Duane & Tyler suggest: "The male . . . moth has a tuned antenna array which is his receptor for locating the female...
