More than Records. The cryogenic temperature range begins at a chilly- 150° F. and plummets to -459.7° F., or absolute zero, the point at which all thermal motion of the atom ceases. To attain these temperatures, scientists use expansion engines that compress gases, cool them and allow them to expand again, then repeat the cycle until they liquefy and eventually solidify. As the gases approach absolute zero, a sophisticated magnetization process extracts their remaining reservoir of heat. Because there will always be slight thermal motion of the atomic particles, scientists will never actually achieve absolute zero. But last...

...Grand-Hotel de 1'Europe in Bad Gastein, Austria. Since the 15th century when Holy Roman Emperor Frederick III discovered the therapeutic effects of Bad Gastein's thermal waters, the tiny Alpine village has been called "the Spa of Kings." Kaiser Wilhelm spent 20 seasons there, and it remains a favored haven for pashas and potentates. The sprawling, four-story hotel, opened in 1909, boasts bathrooms with 7-ft.-sq. tubs, marble floors and walls, and taps for mineral as well as plain water. ¶-Park-Hotel Adler in Hinterzarten, Germany.

Continuing to hit the MIGs' home bases, 36 Thunderchiefs plastered the Hoa Lac MIG field with 750-lb. bombs for the fifth time, this time rendering its new, 7,000-ft. runway "unusable." Carrier-based Navy A-4 Skyhawks struck at Haiphong's two thermal power plants and nearby Kien An airfield, a MIG base that had been previously spared. That leaves only three of North Viet Nam's jet bases as yet unscathed. That is a distinction that is not likely to long endure...
...capacity; with 80% of its output earmarked for expanding industry, Taiwan Power is aiming toward a 4,000,000-kw. output within the next ten years, is rushing completion of the Tachia River power network to supply a quarter of the total through a mix of hydroelectric power and thermal power generated by oil shipped halfway around the world from Kuwait...
