But despite the official exoneration, doubts remained, which were in no way dispelled by Kim Philby's refusal to disavow his friendship with Burgess. "There are fair-weather friends and foul-weather friends," he said, "and I prefer to belong to the second category...
...like experiments in a torture chamber. To help the armed forces cut down World War II manpower losses from tropical heat prostration, he kept volunteers working at 90° F. and a relative humidity of 80% to 90%. After about a week, the men became acclimated to the artificial weather...

To find out, the scientists will launch a stream of highflying balloons, fire volleys of rockets into the upper atmosphere. One picturesque Iksee project will loose unmanned weather balloons into the eddy of wind that circulates around the North Pole. If the balloons stay aloft for a week, they should make at least one circuit, reporting to an international string of radio receivers...
...Weather. Behind most of the experiments is the hope of developing; a technique of solar weather forecasting. Astronomers have known for many years that sunspots are storms on the sun, but until men and their instruments burst out into space, the solar storms had little significance for humans. They are vitally important now; the brilliant solar flares associated with sunspots spray the whole solar system with streams of deadly radiation.

This year they have raised it to 1,000 watts (WNBC New York operates on 10,000 watts). Under certain weather conditions, however, remarkable things happen. Larry Mueller once made visual contact with a fellow in Fort Recovery Ohio, 170 miles away...
