Nevertheless, the political movements students join today make an impact. Though activists are impatient, progress is being made in civil rights. Though peace groups actually want disarmament, a test ban has been concluded, and never before have Cold War negotiations, seemed more possible. The Peace Corps is an international success. And when a National Service Corps is recommended, a Harvard senior, who for two years ran the mental hospitals program at Phillips Brooks House, is asked to testify before a Senate Committee...
Astronomic Odds. Last week the program got under way as five slender, needlelike Army Pershing missiles lifted from a barren mesa outside the town of Blanding, Utah, climbed above the earth's atmosphere and arced to bull's-eye landings in impact areas at the heavily instrumented White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, some 350 miles to the southeast. Later this month, the Air Force will launch the first of some 80 Athena rockets from Green River, Utah, to White Sands, a span of almost 500 miles. The Athenas, toting experimental nose cones are expected to provide...
Compelling Reasons. Why is the U.S. going to all the expense and bother involved instead of just shooting the missiles into the ocean? For one thing, land shots make for much more precise measurements of impact areas than do missile shoots into the ocean. For an other, sending a few Jeeps into the desert to pick up the pieces of an impacted missile is a whale of a lot cheaper than sending a flotilla of Navy cruisers all over the Atlantic or Pacific to look for a rocket launched from Vandenberg or Canaveral. And finally, White Sands has more monitoring...
Like a Jigsaw Puzzle. That revolution is reshaping the comfortable contours of the world's industries. The age of science has not only had a vast impact on society, but has also transformed the world of business more thoroughly than anything since the Industrial Revolution. Business has always been faced with changing situations, but never has the change been so constant, powerful and full of hazards. "The flowering of technology goes on faster and faster," says George R. Harrison, M.I.T.'s dean of sciences, "because man's understanding of science is like working out a jigsaw puzzle...
...Objections. The Kremlin's spending spree on wheat, which promised to give an exhilarating boost to the lagging Canadian economy, would have its impact elsewhere as well. Word came from Australia that it would sell Russia another $100 million worth. Moscow was dickering with West Germany for 250,000 tons of flour. Even U.S. wheat growers, stuck with a huge surplus, hoped to get in on the bonanza; the State Department in Washington apparently had no objections...
