...Insulation. To explain why the original cloud did not completely annihilate itself, Alfvén suggests that regions of matter and antimatter can coexist. A layer of hot ambiplasma (matter and antimatter particles in the process of annihilation) may sometimes be created, he says, when matter and antimatter meet. Like the insulating layer of steam that forms between a drop of water and the surface of a very hot stove, the ambiplasma would separate and repulse the hostile regions. In that way, Alfvén believes, the two forms of matter could be prevented from committing mutual destruction...
...rescue, and onto the scene fluttered a re vamped "Silver Angel"-the stubby-winged HU-16 sea-rescue amphibian of Air Force Captain David P. Westen-barger, who had been on patrol 150 miles away when he first heard the radioed cry of "Mayday." Dropping through the cloud layer to 100 ft., West-enbarger saw an oncoming 30-ft. junk spitting machine-gun bullets just short of Huggins. "Dunk that junk," he ordered four fighters circling overhead. As they complied, Westenbarger splashed down near Huggins, taxied between him and the pistol-packing swimmers, pulled the downed aviator aboard while...
Immediately after the fire was controlled, the damaged area of the sixth floor had been a mucky mess of charred furniture, cinders, and ashes spread through a three-inch layer of water. Doors were charred or completely burned away; insulation and panelling had disappeared, leaving walls and ceilings of bare concrete; everything was blackened, the concrete still hot. The fifth floor was under several inches of water...
Prickly Provisos. Tuohy, the C. & O.'s vice chairman, and Herman H. Pevler, the Norfolk & Western's president, attached some prickly provisos to their willingness to take in the indigents, notably that some layer of Government permanently pick up the tab for commuter losses on three of them. Beyond that, the merger must surmount threatened minority-stockholder suits and possible antitrust objections from the Department of Justice, then win approval not only of the five little lines (most of which consider the offered price too low) but also of the Interstate Commerce Commission, whose deliberation may well take...
...there? The question still has scientists stumped. The variations in the wind speed on the twinkling layer were no greater than in nearby regions. In a follow-up experiment now in progress, the scientists plan to make their next check on temperature and pressure fluctuations as possible causes of twinkling starlight...
