...radiomen tune for whistlers, meteorologists studying the turbulent Antarctic atmosphere will launch weather balloons from a sheltering hangar on the ship's stern. Oceanographers will study the tossing sea water by measuring its temperature, salinity, and oxygen content at all depths ranging up from the bottom. They will chart ocean currents and plunge long tubular probes into the ocean floor. The cores of silt they bring up will give glimpses of Antarctic geologic history over millions of years...

Since 1950 the number of Negroes in the city has leaped from 48,000 to 84,000-or from 12% to 23% of the total population. The swelling Negro segment aggravated Oakland's fever chart.
