He played for the Cleveland Indians from 1922 to 1917, where he was primarily an outfielder, and for the Boston Red Sox from 1908 to 1915, where he was primarily a pitcher. Only 13 pitchers have won 30 or more games in a single season since 1900, and <mask> is one of them. "<mask>" played baseball for the local miners teams in Ouray, Colorado. <mask> was a member of the mostly-female "Bloomer Girls." Teams of men barnstormed in exhibition games against teams of women. There was at least one male player on the roster.Ted Williams was a guest on The Colgate Sports Newsreel radio program in 1950 and he told a story about <mask> posing as a girl on a girls' team. The pitcher I was talking about was the legendary <mask> <mask>. Even though he posed as a girl, he can never be forgotten. <mask> had a breakthrough season in 1911, when he won 23 games, had an earned run average of 2.02 and threw a no-hitter. <mask> was 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217

Walter Johnson once asked if he could throw harder than <mask>. There is no man alive who can throw harder than <mask> <mask>. <mask> said, "Oh, I don't think there was ever anyone faster than Walter." <mask>'s delivery put a lot of strain on his arm, but Johnson said he could throw as hard as he could for two or three years. <mask> had a career-changing injury when he was tested in 1917 and Johnson had a speed that was faster than anyone measured with the photo-electric system. <mask>'s best season was in 1912, in which he won 34 games while losing 5 and had an average of 1.91 and struck out 258.Since 1900, pitchers have only won 30 or more games 21 times, with <mask>'s 34 wins being the sixth-highest total. Walter Johnson had 16 victories in a row. <mask> had a 13-game winning streak and Johnson had a 16-game winning streak. On September 6, 1912, <mask> and Johnson faced off in a pitchers' duel. The Washington Senators tried to get <mask> moved up in the rotation so that he could oppose Johnson. There was a standing-room-only crowd of 29,000 at the park that day, which was covered by the papers of the time. With two outs in the sixth, Speaker doubled to left on a 1–2 count and Lewis knocked him in with a double down the right-field line, giving Boston a 2-0 lead over Johnson and <mask>.<mask>

He was the first pitcher to record double-digit strikeouts in a World Series game. <mask> slipped on wet grass while fielding a sacrifice fly in a game against Detroit. He broke his thumb after falling and pitched in pain for three seasons. He was limited in his appearances because he could not recover quickly from a game.<mask> sat out the 1916 season and most of the 1917 season in order to end his pitching career. <mask> rejoined Tris Speaker after he was sold to the Cleveland Indians. <mask> embarked on a second career as an outfielder after being proficient with the bat.

There were 11 no-hitters for Yale and 11 no-hitters for St. John's. <mask> said, "A lot of fellows in my time shortened up on the bat when they had to, that's what the St. John's boys should try against this good pitcher." <mask> said it was the best baseball game he had ever seen after the no-hitter and the game in the 12th. The account was recorded in Roger Angell's New Yorker article "The Web of the Game", in Angell's 1982 book Late Innings, and in the anthology Game Time: A Baseball Companion. He was included in the book The 100 greatest baseball players of all time. They called it the "Smoky Joe Wood Syndrome", where a player of truly exceptional talent but a career hampered by injury should still be included on their list of the 100 greatest.<mask> was interviewed for The Glory of Their Times.

texts: <mask> was a British army officer who spent the rest of his life campaigning for reform of the lunacy laws and for better treatment of asylum inmates. He was one of the founding members of the Alleged Lunatics' Friend Society. <mask>'s books about his experience in asylums were published in 1962, and in recent years he has been hailed as a pioneer of the mental health advocacy movement. <mask> was born in the United Kingdom in the 18th century. <mask>, the son of the 2nd Earl of Egmont, was a lawyer and politician. Of the thirteen children, twelve survived infancy. <mask>'s father was killed in the lobby of the House of Commons.The assassin, <mask>, was a merchant with a grievance against the government and was widely believed to be insane, although at his trial he pleaded injustice rather than insanity and was executed. According to press reports, one of the Perceval boys had been in Parliament and had seen his father's body after the shooting, and a psychoanalyst has suggested that seeing the scene may have been the cause of his subsequent regressive experience. The loss of his father was one of the contributory factors in Perceval's breakdown. After spending a year with a private tutor, Perceval obtained an army commission and became a captain in the First Foot or Grenadier Guards. He did not see combat on his tours of duty in Portugal and Ireland. Perceval, a sober and religious man, decided to leave the army in 1830 and enroll at Oxford's Hertford College. Perceval did not return for a second term in the autumn of 1830 because he found university life more enjoyable than the army.He went on a spiritual journey to Scotland, visiting a radical evangelical sect who spoke in tongues and were said to perform miracles. <mask> thought he was guided by the spirit. He left Scotland to visit friends in Ireland, where he had sex with a woman and was treated for a

When he was 27 years old, his behavior became so strange that his friends restrained him and his brother Spencer came to take him back to England and put him in a insane asylum. After the murder of <mask>'s father, Parliament voted the family a sum of money. It allowed <mask>'s mother to have him confined in two of England's most expensive private asylums. He spent two years at Ticehurst House in the UK and a year at Brislington House in Bristol.Despite the expense, the regime of deprivation, brutality and degradation was experienced in the Asylum Perceval. He was kept in a straitjacket or tied down in a bed for eight months, during which time he was completely under the control of his voices, spirits and presences. Cold baths and an operation were part of the treatment. He was allowed more freedom and eventually persuaded his mother to take him away from Brislington House. He was treated better at Ticehurst Asylum. Ticehurst Asylum was where Perceval spent his time trying to get his release. His family described him as "quite out of his station in life" when he married the daughter of a cheesemonger.The couple were going to have four daughters. Alice Frederica was born in 1836. The assistant under-secretary of state for India was married to Selina Maria. There is a person named "Fluke Louisa" who was born in 1845-1862. The two oldest daughters of <mask> and his wife were born in Paris. <mask> was working on a book in Paris.

One of the main aims of the Alleged Lunatic's Friend Society was a parliamentary hearing. On July 11, 1859, <mask> gave evidence to the select committee. One of Perceval's daughters would marry one of Walpole's sons. Perceval argued for better protection against wrongful confinement and medical experiments, safeguards on invasive treatment without consent, abolition of private asylums, greater rights for patients, and a better class of attendants in asylums. The Society was disappointed that the select committee did not result in new legislation. Perceval wrote to the John Bull magazine about the Society being disorganized and lacking support.Nothing has been said about the Society. The Alleged Lunatic's Friend Society's cause for lunacy law reform was taken up by the Lunacy Law Reform Association. Perceval's last publication is a letter he wrote to William Ewart Gladstone in 1868. He died in the asylum in 1876 at the age of 73. An edited version of the two volumes of the Narrative was published in 1962, under the title Perceval's narrative: a patient's account of his psychosis 1830-32. An article by psychiatrists Richard A followed. Perceval was described as someone who "played a significant role at a crucial period in psychiatric history by his fearless and honest exposure of himself as well as what he considered the shortcomings of his time" by Hunter and Ida Macalpine.Many of the changes Perceval called for in evidence to the select committee were eventually legislated for. <mask>'s Narrative continues to be studied by those interested in what it reveals about psychosis and recovery, while his activism has been inspiring for the peer advocacy movement.

He is a founder of loop quantum gravity theory. He worked in the history and philosophy of science. He works with several Italian newspapers, including the cultural supplements of La Repubblica. His book, Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, was originally published in Italian. It has sold over a million copies around the world.He was included in a list of the 100 most influential global thinkers. <mask> was born in Italy on May 3, 1956. He was in Verona for the Liceo ClassicoScipione Maffei. He was involved in student political movements in Italian universities. He helped found two free political radio stations, Radio Alice in Bologna and Radio Anguana in Verona. He was charged with crimes of opinion related to the book Fatti Nostri, which he co-authored with other people. It was a strong experience that touched me, and that's why I'm interested in theoretical physics.The sense of time stopping was one of the strange phenomena. The clock was not going ahead, the flow of time was not passing, and I thought it was a chemical that was changing things in my brain. How do I know that the usual perception is correct? If the two ways of seeing are different, what does that mean? In 1981 he obtained a BS/MS in physics from the University of Bologna, and in 1986 he obtained his PhD from the University of Padova, Italy. <mask> was briefly held in 1987 after he refused military service in Italy. He worked at the University of Rome, the International School for Advanced Studies in Trieste, and the Yale University.He was associated with the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of

texts: Pittsburgh from 1990 to 2000. He is a professor at Aix-Marseille University in France. He is in a relationship with his former student. A theory of quantum gravity called loop quantum gravity was introduced in 1988. When they obtained a basis of states of quantum gravity in 1995, they were able to show that the theory predicts that area and volume are quantized. This result shows the existence of a small structure of space. The current version of loop quantum gravity is a covariant version of the "sum over surfaces" theory.The current definition of the loop quantum gravity covariant dynamics is the result of his work with Jonathan and Roberto. A quantum theory of gravity is a candidate for the loop theory. There are applications in quantum black hole physics. In his 2004 book, Quantum Gravity, <mask> developed a formula of classical and quantum mechanics that does not refer to the idea of time. The Wheeler–DeWitt equation describes the first step towards a theory of quantum gravity. The timeless formalism describes the world in the regimes where the quantum properties of the field cannot be ignored. The notion of time is unsuitable for writing physical laws because of the quantum fluctuations of spacetime.If time is not part of the fundamental theory of the world, how does time emerge? The thermal time hypothesis was proposed in 1993 by <mask> and Connes. The hypothesis says that time comes only in a statistical context. The flow of time is not fundamental if this is correct. Similar conclusions were reached earlier in the context of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, in particular in the work of Robert Zwanzig. The idea that the quantum state of a system must always be interpreted relative to another physical system was introduced in 1994.

During the War of the Regulation, he was a colonel in William Tryon's army. When Tryon became Governor of New York, <mask> was against his successor. He was an active member of the North Carolina Provincial Congress and was active in organizing efforts within North Carolina and among the American colonies.<mask> was promoted to brigadier general at the start of the Revolutionary War and was heavily involved in actions in the Southern Department. Conflict with political and military leaders in Georgia and South Carolina consumed <mask>'s career as a military commander. <mask>'s conflict with South Carolina's state government led to his fight with Christopher Gadsden of South Carolina. <mask>'s reputation as a womanizer led to the Continental Congress stripping him of his command over the Southern Department. <mask> was sent to New York where he served under George Washington in the Hudson Highlands. He was a senior officer on the court-martial board that sentenced to death John André, a British officer accused of assisting Benedict Arnold in the latter's plot to change allegiance and deliver West Point to the British. <mask> was accused of attempting to defect to the British, but the accusations were thrown aside because of the British attempt to cause more unrest in the Continental Army.<mask> was involved in putting down several late-war mutinies by members of the Pennsylvania and New Jersey Lines in

During his visit to North Carolina in 1773, Quincy investigated the causes of the War of the Regulation to which he was sympathetic. Quincy was led by <mask> to believe that the Regulator movement had been unjust and wrong to take up arms against Tryon. <mask> was found to be a happy compound of the man of sense, the sword, the Senate, and the buck, as well as a favorite of the man of sense and the female world. The desire among those present to open up inter-colonial lines of communication was engendered by Quincy's visit with <mask>, Hooper, and Harnett. Between 1766 and 1775, <mask> was forced to mortgage land and sell slaves to make ends meet.Kendal Plantation, a rice plantation on the Cape Fear River, was mortgaged for over two hundred dollars in the 18th century. While the causes of <mask>'s financial misfortunes are unknown, several contemporary critics held that the cause was <mask>'s need to keep up appearances among the ruling elite.

In December 1773, the North Carolina colonial assembly created a committee of correspondence to which <mask>, as well as Richard Caswell, John Harvey, John Ashe, Joseph Hewes, and Samuel Johnston were appointed.The committee was tasked with coordinating plans of resistance to British attempts to tax or burden the colonists.

The plot failed when Martin escaped from Fort Johnston early in the morning on July 19. <mask> ordered the militia to put the fort's structures to the torch, starting with the home of its commanding officer and his successor, who had previously been accused of corruption by the Committee of Safety. The growing unrest in North Carolina was attributed to what Martin termed "the basest and most scandalous seditious and inflammatory falsehoods" by the Committee of Safety. <mask> was appointed to the committee charged with developing a test oath for members of the legislative body after he was re-elected to the third provincial congress.The power of Parliament to tax to American colonies was denied by the oath. <mask> proclaimed "Independence seems to be the word" during the Fourth North Carolina Provincial Congress.

The region around Norfolk was being occupied by Loyalist militia units. The captains of British ships anchored off Norfolk were by that time overcrowded with Loyalist refugees, and <mask>, as senior officer chosen over William Woodford of Virginia, engaged in contentious negotiations over access to supplies. The situation deteriorated and Norfolk was burned on January 1, 1776, in an action started by British marines and a bombardment by Royal Navy vessels. After the fire raged on for two more days, <mask> ordered most of the buildings to be torn down to make the location useless to the British. Woodford described <mask> as a "brave, prudent & spirited commander".

In Lee's absence, James Moore was appointed Commander of the Southern Department. In Lee's absence, <mask> was left in charge of Charleston and Savannah, Georgia, and in September 1776, he became involved in a controversy over the recruitment of soldiers from North Carolina. <mask> asked the Provincial Congress of North Carolina to allow South Carolina to recruit within the former state's borders because of the higher number of white males in that state. <mask> was ordered to return the North Carolinians who had been lured away by the South Carolinians. <mask> was told to pay the recruitment bonuses if he wanted to have the men back. <mask> assumed command of the Southern Department after James Moore died.On August 20, 1777, the South Carolina Assembly protested against <mask>'s right to command soldiers within the borders of South Carolina.

Georgia Governor John Houstoun refused to give up control of his militia to the Continental Army general and refused to participate in <mask>'s council. The commander of the South Carolina militia units refused to allow <mask> to command the Georgia militia units when they arrived in Georgia. The British received reinforcements after this small incursion.<mask> was forced to return to Charleston after pulling his units back north. Georgia officials were quick to cast aspersions on the Continental command, which was compounded by Congress' failure to understand <mask>'s inability to control the Georgia militia despite their prior determination of his command authority over militia units. <mask>'s squabbles with local political and militia leaders were not the only difficulties. On August 30, 1778, Christopher Gadsden of South Carolina was pistol-wrestled by <mask> over an offense he perceived to have arisen from <mask>'s resignation in 1777. The conflict between the Continental Army and state governments' desire to retain local control over their officers and soldiers was the subject of this controversy.

He advised Washington to call off the siege because an assault would be impossible. <mask>'s inability to take the British fortifications damaged his career and he was never given a major command again. <mask> was criticized by General William Irvine for his delay in attacking Verplanck's Point. <mask> was given the command of the left wing of Washington's army composed of Massachusetts brigades under Generals John Nixon and John Glover.While military action was rare in <mask>'s region of control, he was involved in the recruitment and cultivation of a substantial spy network which provided information about British

As part of his command duties, <mask> was chosen by Washington as president of the court–martial convened to determine the propriety of General Benedict Arnold's conduct while serving as the commandant of Philadelphia. Arnold was accused of conducting business with British merchants and doing private business transactions that were inappropriate given his position. The tribunal, which met at <mask>'s headquarters in Connecticut, adjourned for several months due to a threatened British attack, but came back in December and closed in January 1780. Washington ordered <mask> to move into position to attack the British in the fall of 1779 in order to coincide with a French assault on New York. Arnold was found guilty of breaching the articles of war by allowing a vessel from an enemy port into Philadelphia and was recommended to be reprimanded by Washington. On February 21, 1780, <mask> was made commandant of the Continental Army fortifications at West Point.Prior to Benedict Arnold's plan to turn over control of that stronghold to the British, he held that command. Washington gave Arnold command of the fortifications on August 3, 1780. <mask> oversaw his network of spies in the upper Hudson River valley, including double agent Joshua Hett Smith, who later played a key role in Arnold's treason and prosecution. Evidence implicating <mask> in discussions with the British was dismissed by Washington as just rumors stirred up by British General Henry Clinton. Major John André, the British officer tasked with facilitating Arnold's conspiracy, was sentenced to death by the court-martial board that convicted of espionage. <mask> helped put down the Pompton Mutiny in New Jersey, which was inspired by the earlier

The tribunal, led by Friedrich von Steuben, opened on December 7, 1781 and closed on January 23, 1782, acquitting <mask> of any wrongdoing. <mask> was ordered by the assistant Adjutant General to investigate the conduct of Alexander McDougall in the spring of 1782.

The exact location of <mask>'s burial has not been discovered, but he was buried on property that later became Columbus County, North Carolina. He and his wife Sara were honored with a cenotaph in the Old Smithville Burying Ground. Legacy <mask> has been remembered mostly for his lack of military successes and reputation, although North Carolina historian Hugh Rankin noted in a biographical sketch that "his opportunities came at times when he did not have proper field strength to gain favorable recognition." During the 1903 session of the United States House of Representatives, Congressman John Dillard Bellamy introduced a bill to erect an equestrian statue of <mask> in order to commemorate the general's service, but it was not passed. <mask>'s service was remembered by the State of North Carolina in a historical marker. There is a marker on North Carolina Highway 133.During the height of the Benedict Arnold conspiracy, John McIntire played <mask> in the 1955 film The Scarlet Coat. Several scholars have raised questions about <mask>'s actions as the unofficial spymaster of the Hudson Valley, all of which center on evidence that suggests <mask> attempted to bargain with the British in exchange for a commission as an officer in the regular British Army.

The Congressional Board of War and Washington didn't believe the story of Joel being a British spy, but Thomas Jefferson commissioned him to lead a militia against Loyalists in Virginia.William Smith, a New York Loyalist and the brother of <mask>'s agent and Joshua Hett Smith, noted in his diary on April 29, 1780, that his brother, Thomas Smith, had been informed that a commissary had come over to him. On September 28, 1780, William Smith told Henry Clinton that he believed "Bob" <mask> would turn on the patriots. Historians have often dismissed allegations that <mask> attempted to defect, believing them to be fabrications that were used to ingratiate himself with the government. The allegations of attempted treason are the only full-length book treatment of <mask>'s life. Washington didn't have access to the potentially corroborating evidence in William Smith's diary, so he relied on Washington's assessment of the allegations. <mask> may have tried to spread word among the British of his possible treason in order to hide his management of the vast spy network at his control. The conclusion that <mask> was attempting to defect was drawn by an American historian who studied <mask>'s career and motives.There is no evidence that proves <mask> guilty of attempted treason.

The installations were focused on systems and processes. There is a physical occurrence of the condensation cycle in real time. The states of water and the wind are some of the themes in the works from the 1960s. His art had a more specific focus by the end of the 1960s. Haacke's interest in real-time systems propelled him into his criticism of social and political systems. Haacke focused on the art world and the system of exchange between museums and corporations and corporate leaders in most of his work after the late 1960s.Throughout his career, Haacke has been outspoken about demystifying the relationship between museums and businesses. "What we have here is a real exchange of capital:


title: Hans Haacke

texts: financial capital on the part of the sponsors and symbolic capital on the part of the sponsored", he writes. Haacke has used the work of Pierre Bourdieu to underscore the idea that corporate sponsorship of art enhances the sponsoring corporations' public reputation, which is of material use to them. As an artist, Haacke wants to make this relationship clear to viewers. In 1970 <mask> proposed a work for the exhibition entitled Information to be held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, in which visitors would be asked to vote on a current socio-political issue. The proposal was accepted, and Haacke prepared his installation, entitled MoMA Poll, but did not hand in the specific question until right before the opening of the show. He asked if the fact that Rockefeller has not denounced Nixon's policy was a reason to not vote for him.Visitors were asked to place their answers in a transparent box. There were more Yes ballots than No ballots at the end of the exhibition. Haacke commented on the involvements of a major donor and board member. This is an example of an institutional critique in the art world. One of his best-known works became an art historical landmark. Haacke took on the real-estate holdings of one of New York City's

Guggenheim Museum, which was to include this work and which made an issue of the business and personal connections of the museum's trustees, was canceled on the grounds of artistic impropriety by the museum's director six weeks before Some people assume that he was a Trustee, but he was not. Edward Fry was fired for his support of the work. Haacke moved his work to Europe and his native country after the cancellation of his exhibition caused trouble at the museum. His solo exhibition at the New Museum of Contemporary Art was titled "<mask>e: Unfinished Business". Haacke created a sociological study at the John Weber gallery in New York in 1972, collecting data from gallery visitors. The visitors were asked to fill out a questionnaire with 20 questions, ranging from their personal demographic background information to opinions on social and political issues.The results of the questionnaires were translated into pie charts and bar graphs that were presented in the gallery at a later date. They found that most visitors were related to the professions of art, art teaching,

texts: Parliament building in Berlin, and in 2006 a public commission was completed in the center of the city. Haacke's work will be part of the annual Fourth Plinth commission in 2015. His winning commission of a bronze sculpture of a horse's skeleton, titled Gift Horse, comes with an electronic ribbon tied to its front leg that displays a live ticker of prices on the London Stock Exchange. Haacke uses a version of the Artists Reserved Rights Transfer and Sale Agreement from 1971 by Siegelaub and Projansky in order to control the dissemination, display and ownership of his art works. It is uncomfortable for me to be a politicized artist, the work of an artist with such a label is in danger of being understood onedimensionally without exception. Haacke's political growth is linked to exposure to a time of political unrest in the US during the Vietnam War.The boycott of the So Paulo Bienal in Brazil in 1969 was a catalyst for the artist's work to take a political direction. The work of Haacke and his friends and colleagues are included in two books by the artist. The book Framing and Being Framed was published by <mask>e.

He progressed from General Schedule (GS) Grade 12 to Grade 15 in positions that included deputy assistant for engineering, chief plans and programs office, and scientific advisor to the signal officer.The team of German scientists and engineers under Wernher von Braun were brought to the U.S. and tested their missiles in Texas. They continued to use the ranges after being moved to Redstone in 1950. While in the Army and in civil service positions, <mask> worked closely with the team at Peenemnde Army Research Center, and became familiar with the newer American derivative systems that were originally developed in Germany. The development of the Redstone Rocket and the opening of the Army Ballistic Missile Agency (ABMA) helped evolve the activities at Redstone. Jupiter was the Army's first medium-range missile. <mask> joined the Guidance and Control Laboratory as a telemetry specialist and served as a scientific advisor to the Commanding Officer. In the mid-1950s, the National Security Agency set up a listening station near the

Tapes were made of signals obtained by the listening post, and an ad hoc activity called Jam Session was started by the CIA for their interpretation; <mask> was a Jam Session participant. The Russians were using the same frequencies and formats that the Germans used during World War II. On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik I, the first artificial satellite. The signals from the launch at Tyuratam and Sputnik were analyzed by the Air Force and the CIA. <mask> was asked to be a leader in the effort. It took 18 months to calibrate the signals and understand how they related to the launch vehicle characteristics.For the next two decades, this provided the U.S a major window into the operation of Soviet missiles. The Army Ordnance Missile Command was formed after

texts: the absorption of the ABMA. The Signals Intelligence Group was established as a separate unit. The Department of Defense formed the Defense Intelligence Agency in 1961. In December, the Missile Intelligence Office (MIO) was made an official organization on the AOMC Commanding General's Staff, and <mask> was named Chief of the MIO. The analysis of public and secret photographs of Soviet missiles and their launch sites was one of the most significant activities of the MIO. Sometimes models of the pictured missiles were built and tested in the AOMC wind tunnels for determining their aerodynamic characteristics.In the mid-sixties, the CIA began flying U-2 aircraft over the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the People's Republic of China. These cameras were used to identify missiles being manufactured and on the launch sites. The program name for a series of satellites was initiated in 1959 by the CIA. The film was caught in the air by aircraft after being ejected in a capsule with a parachute. Keyhole 1 was the first successful mission. More photos were taken of the Soviet Union than any of the

Cuba was selected as an image target as the Cold War between America and the Soviet Union intensified. The Cuban Missile Crisis began when CORONA imagery showed missile launch sites being built across the island. On October 14, U-2 aircraft flew over the suspected areas in order to obtain clearer images. The PGIC Interpretation Center was responsible for interpreting the data. A team of image interpreters from the MID assembled at the PGIC and quickly released its top secret report identifying the sites as those for Soviet R-12 Dvina and Soviet R-14 Chusovaya medium-range missiles.Nikita Khrushchev agreed to dismantle the missiles and return them to the USSR after President John F. Kennedy imposed a military blockade of Cuba. President Harry S. Truman directed the

It was not widely accepted that the CIA produced scientific intelligence. The Cuban Missile Crisis showed the importance of science and technology in intelligence. The deputy director of science and technology (DDS&T) was formed in August 1963, with Albert D. Wheelon as the leader, after a number of technical operations in the CIA were consolidated. The Foreign Missile and Space Analysis Center was formed in November.Having worked with him on Jam Session and TABAC, Wheelon was well aware of <mask>'s capabilities, and persuaded him to leave the MID in Huntsville and head the FMSAC. The Soviet accomplishments included the first spacewalk and the Luna soft landing on the moon. Third-generation ICBMs, as well as submarine-launched intermediate-range missiles, that could easily reach U.S. territory, were of greater concern. <mask> and the FMSAC analyzed radar, optical, and photographic information. The electronic intelligence receiving station in Iran continued to be used for

The U-2 spy plane was used to monitor Chinese missile and nuclear programs, as well as collecting high-altitude gas samples from nuclear facility emissions.The missions used the KH-4A and KH-4B satellites. Each mission was able to cover 18 million square miles thanks to the resolutions of about and. The activities of <mask> were of great value to the CIA, but they mainly involved analyses of existing events. The basic science and technology used in collecting information and predicting future actions of adversaries need more capability according to some of the Agency's strategic consultants. Increasing the size and capabilities of the Wheelon organization would be involved. <mask> replaced Wheelon as leader of the DS&T in 1966. The position of deputy director of the CIA was taken over by this.While Wheelon had a PhD in physics from MIT and had previously been a senior scientist at TRW, <mask> had no formal higher education and had only non-government experience.

Offices reporting directly to Duckett included Computer Services, Electronic Intelligence, Scientfifc Intelligence, Special Activities, Special Projects, and Research and Development. The Office of Weapons Intelligence and the Office of Technical Services were formed in 1973. The Office of Development and Engineering was created to serve the entire CIA.The National Photographic Interpretation Center was placed under the DS&T. Research and development technologies were moved into operations by the new OTS. Devices such as guns camouflaged as pens and cigarettes, covert listening, recording, and transitting devices, special envelopes and other holders of microfilm for dead-drop use, and materials for destroying equipment and incapacitating vehicles were included. <mask> was interested in many of

He was the Number Three executive of the Agency, with broad management and fiscal responsibilities for all CIA programs and activities.<mask> was the Director of Program B of the NRO. Problems in space-reconnaissance management within the Air Force caused the Department of Defense to establish the NRO. The New York Times revealed the existence of the NRO in 1985. <mask> held both the NRO position and the CIA position at the same time. After 13 years in senior positions, <mask> retired from the CIA. His request for retirement was officially cited for health reasons, but he said that the new DCI, George H. W. Bush, wouldn't promote him to deputy DCI. He had a problem with alcoholism and had been disappointed in not being promoted to either of the top two positions.During <mask>'s time as Director of the DS&T, overhead intelligence gathering was a major activity.

The first HEXAGON satellite was launched in 1971. The Big Bird was one of <mask>'s most important accomplishments. A detailed examination of real-time reconnaissance technologies began in 1969 because of the time lag involved in overhead-photography and the advances being made in electro-optical devices. <mask> tasked Dirks, one of his most capable researchers, with assessing the present and projected technologies, and with Land, the inventor of the Polaroid Instant Camera, to prepare a plan for the replacement of CORONA.

The first KENNAN launch took place in 1976, shortly after Dirks replaced <mask> as the DS&T Director. <mask> had an interest in the CIA's activities in electronic intelligence. Information gained through electronic intelligence was very important to <mask>. The CIA had a receiving station in Iran to intercept signals from the Tyuratam test range.At their peak, the two stations operated by the DS&T in the high mountains of northeastern Iran and nearer to Tyuratam provided the bulk of information on Soviet ICBM development. The CIA funded espionage operations in Norway, both at a ground station in the far northeast near Kirkenes and on a converted whaling boat in the Barents Sea. The reception of radar signals is limited to line-of- sight. The signals can be "bounced" along a path between the ionosphere and ground by operating in the high-frequency band. The Earthling radar facility was set up in Pakistan to track launches from the Tyuratam test range. The facility was closed by Pakistan in 1965, and 80% of the missile launches had been detected. The Soviets

In 1969 CHECKROTE was upgraded to a highly successful project. In the 1960's and 70's, the characteristics of Soviet radars were an important intelligence item. Special missions were flown to gather this information. The CIA set up a facility for the collection of Soviet radars reflected by the moon in 1966. After becoming the Director of the DS&T, Wheelon proposed using a satellite to relay signals from Soviet test sites to the CIA. The signals cannot be directly received beyond the horizon because they are not reflected by the ionosphere.The development of such a monitoring system began at the beginning of 1966. The DS&T was taken over by <mask> in a few months. There is a receiving/control site near Alice Springs that is safe from interference by Soviet spy ships. The first RHYOLITE satellite was launched in June 1969 by an Atlas-Agena D rocket. The primary mission was to monitor Soviet missile tests, but it was also capable of

In March 1969 newly elected President Richard Nixon announced to the public that he was authorizing the implementation of an anti-ballistic missile system, called Safeguard, to counter a potentially devastating Soviet threat. At that time, there was a balance between the United States and the Soviet Union based on Mutual Assured Destruction; this assumed that a first strike could not eliminate the capability for retaliation.Some studies showed that Soviet ICBMs carrying multiple nuclear warheads could destroy a large part of the U.S. In the fall of 1968, tests of the ss9 mod 4 ICBMs were monitored and three of them were removed, each supposedly capable of carrying up to five megaton-size nuclear bombs. The difference in threat between MIRVs and simply three warheads reentering in a row would have a major impact on the U.S. defense. It was important for Congress to make a decision on President Nixon's authorization for Safeguard. <mask> prepared a paper presenting both sides of the technical debate after he concluded that

Vice President Spiro Agnew broke an even split in Congress by favoring the program in the final vote.There were enough leaks to allow the news media to call attention to the role of the CIA in such matters. In March 1968, a Soviet Golf class submarine sank in the ocean northwest of Hawaii after it exploded while on the surface. The Soviet Fleet immediately started a major effort to locate the sub, but gave up in a few weeks. The Office of Naval Intelligence arranged for a spy submarine to look for the missing sub. During the summer of 1968, long cables lowered lights and cameras, and in August the sub was broken into several large pieces. There were three missile launch tubes in the forward section. There was a lot of interest in trying to recover items such as cipher machines, code manuals, communications equipment, and even a nuclear warhead.The Navy and the CIA started working on a plan. The Navy wanted to cut into the sub's hull to recover items. The Navy presented its plan in a meeting. When <mask>

Howard Hughes agreed for his firm, Summa Corporation, to build a long ship. The Hughes Marine Barge-1 was hidden from overhead observation and carried below the ship.The section of the Golf sub that was intact on the ocean floor would be lifted into an opening on the bottom of the ship by eight giant claws. Project AZORIAN was publicly justified as a means of rescue and recovery of future U.S. vessels. The raising attempt began in July 1974. The entire section was shattered when one of the claws broke after the section was lifted. Most of the original sub fell back to the ocean floor. The items most desired by the intelligence community were included in the lost portions. The bodies were given a formal burial at the sea.In the early 1970s, two laser scientists began research in parapsychology. In a meeting with representatives of the DS&T, they claimed to have found witnesses of Soviet successes in psychokinetics, use of the mind for

There was extensive testing of the effects of drugs on human subjects throughout the 1950s and 1960s. The majority of these activities were conducted by the Technical Services Staff. Duckett assigned the information on mind control to theTSD when the scientists presented it. The Biofield Measurements Program was initiated in October 1972 to determine whether viewers or percipients could reliably identify and describe features of remote locations.There were attempts to find out what progress the Soviets were making in parapsychology and how it might be used against the United States. Two test subjects claimed to have supernatural abilities. Other units of the DS&T joined in the effort after reported successes in "remote viewing" by the percipients. In the summer of 1973, <mask> and the CIA Executive Director allowed the activity to continue after a management review of the program. An experiment was conducted in 1974. <mask> asked if this center had

In sessions over a four-day period, the test subjects gave mentally derived descriptions of the site; these descriptions were then independently evaluated by a scientist from the Los Alamos National Laboratory.The CIA had commercial drug manufacturers give samples of drugs rejected for commercial sale in order to study how their "unfavorable side effects" would modify behavior. Duckett stated that the experiments were not being conducted for offensive purposes and that they would be able to recognize certain behavior if similar materials were used against Americans. He was on record as saying that the Director would be foolish to say he is familiar with the program. After retiring from the CIA in 1976, <mask> joined the firm Intec, Inc., as Chairman of the Board and President. He provided analytical studies in technical intelligence and electronic warfare and retained top levels of security clearance. He was a member of the Senate Select Committee for Intelligence
