Tell-tale Pattern. The waves from earlier U.S. and Soviet tests followed this pattern. But during this summer's tests, Japan's microbarographs showed a difference. With each explosion (the U.S. has announced only one), the initial, shortwave phase decreased, indicating that the bombs were being exploded higher and higher in the atmosphere. On July 3, the Japanese picked up a wave pattern" that had almost no short waves. Ito thinks this proves that the explosion took place above 22 miles. If it did, Ito reasons, the bomb must have been carried by a rocket. No existing bomber...
...ileitis operation. His brown summer-weight suit now fitted a little loosely, his West Point-squared shoulders looked lean. With Mamie on his arm to lend balance, the President carefully took the five steps down from the hospital exit, mustered up one of his fine smiles and a wave for the battery of photographers. Then he slipped gratefully into Mamie's black Chrysler Crown Imperial, and sagged back against a white pillow. In a moment his Secret Service driver wheeled the car out into Washington traffic, led the cavalcade of Secret Service men, photographers and reporters north through...
Last week, however, New Delhi's Statesman confirmed the claims from Tibetan sources.

The Chinese Reds, alarmed by the extent of the uprising, have appealed to the captive Dalai Lama to use his prestige to stop the fighting...
...Shunkotsu Maru reported radioactive dust from a third explosion that apparently took place on June 12 or 13. Analysis showed that it was also of the fission-fusion-fission type, but for some reason, perhaps small size or extremely high altitude, it did not stir up air or water waves strong enough to reach Japan. A small earth wave was detected on June 12, and a slightly stronger one on June...
...tired, but before he settled down he asked one of the two girls in the boat, Allene Beck, if she could swim; when she shook her head, he traded places with her so she would be in a safer spot. Minutes later the speeding boat bounced on a wave, and both of them, the 50-year-old man and the girl, shot into the water. He swam to her and held her head above water until the boat could circle back and she was hauled aboard. But as hands reached down to seize Trotman's hand, he sank...
