Shortly after dinner one evening last week, Physicist John A. Simpson got an important message from the University of Chicago's Enrico Fermi Institute: the alarm bell on the cosmic ray monitoring device in Simpson's office was ringing. When he got to his office, Simpson discovered that cosmic rays were bombarding the earth at a phenomenal rate of 3,000 per minute (normal rate for the area: 200 per minute). The activity, noted by observatories around the world, followed by less than 30 minutes a giant solar flare. It was the strongest indication so far that cosmic...
...them into the air without too long a take-off run. The rockets are expensive, whether they use liquid or solid fuel, so the West German Ministry of Transport asked jet-propulsion experts to evaluate hot-water rockets, a prewar German idea that never got a thorough tryout. Recently, Physicist Werner Michely told a meeting at Freu-denstadt that hot-water booster rockets look promising...
...Last week it was the turn of the supporters. When the arguments are all in, the senate will have to vote on just what sort of university Cambridge is to be. In view of Britain's technological needs, it will be quite a decision to make. Said one physicist: "I'm scared to death. This place can't live unless it can expand."

...week's end Washington Secretary of State Earl Coe demanded that Governor Arthur B. Langlie fire Cassill and Everest, and investigate the strange silence of University President Henry Schmitz (who last year banned Physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer from the Washington campus). Cowboy Cherberg kept talking: "The filthiest thing in the world is to corrupt young Americans with dough. I may never coach again, but God willing, I'm not going to let them corrupt any more kids...
