...green plants manufacture food and store energy by absorbing carbon dioxide, water and sunlight? Scientists have been piecing together the answer for years, sure that when they learn the last detail of the complicated process they will be closer than ever before to understanding the secret heart of nature. For life itself-in whatever form it appears on earth-steadily expends the solar energy stored during the intricate chemical reaction that scientists call photosynthesis...
...prehistory, the oldest manlike animal yet found. By measuring the amount of potassium 40 and its decay product, argon 40, in a digger's find, scientists conceivably can fix an object's age at 50 million years, with a probable error of less than 2%. The radioactive carbon dating system, for which Dr. Willard Libby won a Nobel Prize in 1960, reaches back for only 50,000 to 60,000 years...
...will not buy. The other three white hunters follow the spoor of a comely teen-ager (Michele Girardon). Director Howard Hawks kids these silly romances, but two hours and 40 minutes among the wildebeests is apt to send moviegoers stampeding down the aisles for a deep, bracing breath of carbon monoxide...
Miss Irwin discovered the remains and tools in the Valsequillo Zone earth-strata, and on geological evidence alone, estimated the age at 30,000 years. Scientists will use radio-carbon dating to check her estimate...
...James Thomas Blair, 60, onetime Governor of Missouri (1956-60), a bourbon-drinking friend of Harry Truman, whose major campaign in office was to improve his state's mental health program by building more and better hospitals; and Emilie Chorn Blair, his wife. 58; both from accidental asphyxiation (carbon monoxide fumes sucked into the airconditioning system of their home from the garage where their Cadillac was parked, its engine running); in Jefferson City...
