...teaches gymnastics, met a young man ideally equipped to help her with both projects. A skilled gymnast himself, Germany's rugged Prince Johann Georg of Hohenzollern, 28, is mad for sports, will soon get his doctor's degree from the University of Munich in the fresh-air field of archaeology - which is also the lifelong hobby of Birgitta's grandfather, Sweden's King Gustaf. Later, invited to Sweden for a royal elk hunt, the Prince succeeded in bagging more attractive quarry. In Stockholm, Birgitta's widowed mother, Princess Sibylla, announced the royal engagement last week...
...cause seemed clear: radon, a dense gas that emanates from uranium, is highly radioactive and breaks down into products that are radioactive too. If there are more than 300 micromicrocuries of radioactive material per liter of air in a mine, the mine is officially rated unsafe. Investigators found air in 50% of the uranium mines in Colorado and Arizona contaminated by four to five times the safe level of radiation. In one mine, they counted 47,000 micromicrocuries per liter of air...
...molten core would be similar to tapping the heat of molten rocks created by a man-made blast. Rawson and Higgins set up a gasoline-driven rotary drilling rig in the middle of Kilauea Iki's cone on the steaming crust of the lava pool. Using compressed air as a coolant, they drilled a 3½-in. hole into the crust at the tedious rate of 1½ ft. every eight hours. The 1,652° heat damaged the diamond bits and jammed pipe threads, forcing a switch to powdered graphite as a lubricant. At nearly 17 ft., Rawson...
...their nightclubs that important, but for a month now they have been hearing the din of a limited war over a 20-year-old police ordinance that requires nightclub employees-from entertainers to hat-check girls-to carry police identity cards. A Citizens' Emergency Committee has filled the air with charges of abuses and shakedowns; the cops have retaliated by combing the cabarets for cardless offenders. This week Jules Podell's Copacabana loses its cabaret license for a knuckle-rapping four days, and Sherman Billingsley's Stork Club is fighting a similar suspension. To many New Yorkers...
...script is mainly by St. Luke, the pictures by the greatest hands of the High Renaissance, and the result is one television show that will probably be run and rerun-in churches, schools, art courses, and over the air. Scheduled for this week (Wednesday, Dec. 21), The Coming of Christ is the latest in NBC's superb Project Twenty series, uses the same technique of still photographs and quiet narration that made television masterpieces of 1959's Meet Mr. Lincoln and last April's Mark Twain's America...
