From their rose-tinted window on the West, Brown's lieutenants see their rivals thus...
...drama, as so many know by now, takes place in a garret above an Amsterdam spice factory, where a group of Jewish refugees live in secret, under constant threat of discovery by the Nazis. Stevens' attempts to escape his spatial limitations, through open window spots and photographic tricks, are, on the whole, successful...

Suddenly I got the idea of surprising them or frightening them with a shot. I fired haphazardly. I never intended...
Channel IV, from a directional scintillator, measures the amount of radiation energy passing through the instrument's window each second. The significant parts of the line are its depressions below the flat parts: the deeper they are, the greater the energy. The depressions come in cycles reflecting the tumbling of the satellite, but some of the energy is recorded when the scintillator is "looking away" from the direction of the radiation. This reveals that the lower part of the Van Allen radiation belt contains particles powerful enough to pass through the shielding around the scintillator...
...company into solid-state physics in his search for new products. Among far-out fields to be studied: microcircuitry (e.g., reducing the chassis of a satellite television unit to a few cubic inches) and electroluminescence (e.g., picturing all of a plane's instrument readings on a cockpit window so the pilot will not have to glance away even when landing or taking off). While moving farther into the wild blue yonder, he is also readying new gadgets for planes. His newest commercial product: the $1,500 Navcom (combination communications and navigation instrument box), which puts even single-engined...
