To stay abreast of fast-breaking scientific research, he commissioned authoritative reports from men at the frontiers of discovery: Physicist I. I. Rabi, Geneticist George W. Beadle, the late Dr. Albert Einstein and 15 other Nobel prizewinners. The magazine was redesigned to offer a rich reading diet of articles on all the leading science disciplines: the physical, social, technical, medical and life sciences.

At week's end a spokesman for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration reported: "The paddle wheel is doing well. It is converting solar energy into electrical energy.
