This article documents the transformation of the American national hockey team from a poorly organized initiative into a powerful, partially state-sponsored operation, in the context of the broader ...geo-political tensions of the Cold War. Although the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and Czechoslovakia are typically portrayed as dubious 'shamateurs', paid by their respective militaries to do little but play hockey year round, we argue that the USA engaged in similar activities, albeit on a smaller scale. When the USA won hockey gold at the 1960 Olympics, the American media framed the team's success as a colossal upset of the mighty, military-supported USSR. The evolution of the American team, however, was far more complicated than this simple underdog story suggests. In this article, we use historical newspapers, sporting magazines, and government documents to illustrate the American government's increasing commitment to international sporting success by examining the tumultuous USA national hockey program from the close of World War II (WWII) to the 1960 Olympics.
Noble gas concentrations and multiple isotopic tracers in groundwater and stream water at a small, high‐elevation catchment of the Sierra Nevada Mountains constrain recharge conditions and subsurface ...residence times of different groundwater components. We identify three sources that contribute to groundwater flow: (1) seasonal groundwater recharge with short travel times, (2) water with elevated radiogenic 4He that has experienced longer flow paths, and (3) upwelling of deep fluids that have “magmatic” helium and carbon isotope signatures. Results from our study illuminate two important aspects of the hydrological system that will have a direct impact on how this system responds to climate change: (1) recharge to the alluvial aquifer occurs primarily on the lower slopes of the catchment and is therefore sensitive to changes in snowline elevation and (2) deep groundwater in the western part of the aquifer is very young and provides very little buffering capacity. Although apparent groundwater ages indicate residence times range from less than a year to several decades, the water that recharges seasonally dominates the alluvial aquifer. Noble gas recharge temperatures are close to mean annual air temperature, and are 5°–11° higher than would be expected for direct influx of snowmelt. Excess air concentrations, indicating entrapment of air bubbles during recharge, are lower than would be expected for recharge through bedrock fractures. Instead, recharge likely occurs over vegetated areas on the lower slopes, as indicated by δ13C‐dissolved inorganic carbon values that are consistent with incorporation of CO2 from soil respiration.
