...working force, he has placed near the top of his list an aid-to-depressed-areas bill. He has said he might cut taxes "for four or five months'' if a recession comes. To spur productivity and business expansion, he favors-with almost all businessmen-faster and more liberal depreciation allowances...
...dart-shaped B70 is an airman's vision: designed to fly three times faster than sound and 15 miles above the ground, it could serve as a nuclear bomber, a satellite launcher, or a six-jet civilian transport that could span the Atlantic in an hour. But what would be its strategic value in the missile age? "Doubtful," answered Old Infantryman Dwight Eisenhower last January, as he chopped the B-70's development budget for fiscal 1961 from a requested $385 million to only $75 million, barely enough to build two stripped-down flying shells. Last week, just...
...also built as a partner with General Electric Co. the world's first privately financed reactor at Vallecitos, Calif, where P.G. & E. scientists developed the new methods for building reactors which they are trying out in the Humboldt Bay plant. But the pace must become even faster. Chief architect of the current expansion program is Norman Sutherland, who took over as president in 1955 when James B. Black, who had guided the company's growth since 1935, moved up to board chairman. Sutherland's goal: to double P.G. & E.'s power capacity...
...millionth of a second is a long, long time in modern science; many spectacular things, such as atomic bomb explosions, happen much faster. Therefore scientists are forever striving for more accurate measurement of time. In the latest Physical Review Letters, Harvard Physicists H. Mark Goldenberg. Daniel Kleppner and Norman F. Ramsey tell about a new electronic clock that they hope will keep time with an accuracy of one part in i million billion. This is equivalent to making an error of only one second in 30 million years...
Harvard beat Penn last week at the ends, smothering the single wing sweeps and rushing the passer. Against Princeton, which presents a faster and more polished version of Penn's single wing attack, the varsity will have a tougher job of containment. Scott and Sullivan can run and throw, fullbacks Don Kornrump and Brewster Loud are solid runners, and Dan Terpack (a doubtful starter), John MacMurray and Mike Iseman form an exceptionally fast and dangerous group of wingbacks...
