...wants done." As a scientist with the Atomic Energy Commission's Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory since getting his doctorate in physics from the University of Illinois in 1944, Ogle has participated in every atomic test series since 1945, has witnessed more than 100 explosions in the Pacific and Nevada. He assisted in hydrodynamic experiments for the wartime Manhattan Project, which produced the first Abomb, celebrated the war's end by firing a shotgun into the air on Los Alamos' main street.

Ogle took calculus in high school, used a W.C.T.U. scholarship (he is no longer an abstainer) to help finance his studies at the University of Nevada, where he majored in physics and math. In his last year, he married a girl he had met in church: Johanna Wilhelmina Schouten, whose parents emigrated from Holland. In recent years, she and their five children have bravely endured both his long absences from home and his addiction to secondhand...
...Would Set Us Back." During the 1958-61 test moratorium, Ogle worked on the AEC's peaceful Project Rover, seeking development of nuclear rocket propulsion, and represented the AEC at Geneva test-ban talks. Returning to weapons research when President Kennedy ordered resumption of underground testing in Nevada, Ogle was recommended for the Christmas Island job by his longtime boss, Alvin Graves, test director at Los Alamos. (Graves has been one of the leading figures in nuclear testing, once was critically ill from exposure to a radiation dose of 200 roentgens; he recovered, but has been slowed down since...
Like just about every other ball fan in the U.S. the odds makers of Las Vegas looked ahead across the long summer this week and decided just how the major-league pennant races might wind up.

The pre-season odds...
