The Energetic Particles Experiment (EPE) carried aboard the NASA IMP 7 and 8 satellites was one of the first low energy (tens of kilovolts) magnetic/solid state detector ion-electron separation and analysis systems flown in space. Although we are now constructing substantially more sophisticated systems for space flight, it remains of interest to describe this early instrument, its calibration, its in-flight operation, and its ground data handling and display system. Normal operation with no failures has gone on for a combined IMP 7 and 8 total of 8.5 years in orbit.

John James Ingalls, who served Kansas as a U.S. senator from 1873 to 1891, was one of the most picturesque and striking figures the country has ever known.

When Julia Maltby, a wide-eyed girl of British stock, leaves New York to return to her ancestral castle on a remote island off the coast of Northumberland, she is seeking romance and adventure; but finds more than she bargained for. The British aristocracy closes ranks and Julia is soon at the center of a murder investigation and suspected of planning to steal the family jewels. Will she be able to solve the murder case, clear her name, and inherit the jewelry left to her by her grandmother? If she does, there just may be a chance for her long-time admirer to trust her again and win her heart.
