Turks in the Well. The Clooney voice is known to the trade as both "barrelhouse" and blue, i.e., robust and fresh, with an undercurrent of seductiveness. It can spin out a slow tune with almost cello-like evenness, or take on a raucous bite in a fast rhythm. In a melancholy mood, it has a cinnamon flavor that tends to remind fans of happier days gone by-or soon to come. Moreover, thanks to the malocclusion of the Clooney jaw, her voice carries just a hint of a lisp. A word like "kiss" comes out a bit like "kish...
...intuitions; as a scientist, Bucky often has not much more quality than Lewis Carroll's Bellman, in The Hunting of the Snark, whose assertion was that what he said three times was true, but he can relate anything in the world to anything else, and spin such long-chain molecules of thought that professors to whom a house is a house would rather maintain a purse-lipped reserve than openly contradict...
...ascent of one of these monster rockets will be something to see and hear. It will roar up vertically and turn its course toward the east to take advantage of the spin of the earth (1,038 m.p.h. at the equator). At the altitude of 24.9 miles and the speed of 5,256 m.p.h., the first section will separate and return to earth, braked by a steel-mesh parachute and downward-firing rockets. The second section will carry on, its motors lifting the rocket to 39.8 miles and boosting its speed to 14,364 m.p.h. Then it too will drop...
...apparatus, however, can record the energy released by invisible radiation from the neutral hydrogen atom when its single electron does a "flip flop" (reverses its spin). By calculations astronomers can then place the gaseous clouds in their proper position in space...
Until recently, jet engines had only one essential moving part: the rotor. The forward end of its shaft spins an air compressor, which usually looks like a series of small windmills on the rear end of the shaft. High-pressure air from the last windmill goes to the combustion chambers where the fuel is burned. Hot gases formed there spin a turbine. The turbine turns the compressor, and the gases that pass through it shoot out the tailpipe in a high-speed jet whose reaction pushes the airplane forward...
