Eisenhower recalled the "little grin" on the meteorologist's face when he came in announcing a break for June 6. "It was the best of a bad bargain," Ike told Cronkite. "He predicted this good weather would last between 24 and 36 hours, but I said, 'O.K., we'll go,' and this room was emptied in two seconds...
Since 1958, Army Meteorologist Marvin Diamond had fired more than 1,000 rockets deep into the atmosphere above White Sands. Probing high above the maximum altitude of sounding balloons, his investigative missiles dropped metalized parachutes carrying temperature-measuring devices and providing tracking radars with easily detectable targets. By charting their drift, Diamond hoped to map the weather through which the U.S. must fire its growing family of space vehicles...
Phenix of Columbia-a onetime Quaker turned Presbyterian, an Army chaplain turned meteorologist, a physicist turned reverend, appears equally confused about the technique inherent in leading children to avoid "a gnawing sense of meaninglessness" in their adult lives...
...that is a resounding ideal, Denver-born Author Phenix backs it up with rich personal experience. A Quaker turned Presbyterian, he majored in mathematical physics at Princeton ('34), became a life insurance actuary, a student at Union Theological Seminary, an Army meteorologist, an Army chaplain and a Carleton College professor of religion. He earned his doctorate at Columbia University with a thesis on theology and physics. He is married and the father of sons 15 and 16 years old. Last year he quit his deanship at Carleton because "I don't think college administrations are fertile sources...
When Australia's Physicist Edward G. Bowen first proposed the startling theory that the earth's rainfall is strongly influenced by showers of space dust, most meteorologists howled him down. But Welsh-born Bowen is hard to discourage. For eight years, whenever he could take time from his job as chief of the Radiophysics Division of Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, he searched for evidence to buttress his argument. He found a hopeful amount, and by last week Physicist Bowen had become something of a meteorological hero. After hearing Bowen talk at the International...
