...friend or admirer of Harry Hopkins am I. Nonetheless, any advocate of fair play must condemn as outrageous, contemptible, and libelous TIME'S action in publishing a distorted, hideously repulsive photograph of the Administrator's entirely normal features...
TIME picks its cover photographs, not for beauty nor ugliness, but so far as possible for lifelike vigor of pose. The photograph of Mr. Hopkins was outstanding, could not be rejected. ED. would be glad to own a whole family album of the same kind...
...grandfather, John Humphrey Noyes, founder of famed Oneida Community (1842 to 1880), one of whose concerns was breeding the Superman; consequently it was kicked around by public opinion till it was changed to a corporation which now manufactures silverware. The Templers are as authentic as a composite photograph. Everything in Seek-No-Further but the happy ending actually happened in one of the two dozen or so 19th Century communities which tried table-rapping and socialism...
...amiable, dimple-chinned Dr. Carl David Anderson of California Institute of Technology has accomplished a great deal in science. In 1932 he snapped the first picture of a positive electron. For this discovery he won the highest honor Science can bestow, a Nobel Prize. His pioneer positive electron photograph has become historic. In the Physical Review last week, Prizeman Anderson printed a snapshot of another kind of particle which may also become historic...
...Anderson's analysis of the photograph (see cut) is as follows: the particle, weighing 240 electron units, enters the chamber near the upper left-hand corner of the picture, making a thin, sketchy white track which is slightly curved owing to a strong magnetic field maintained across the chamber. Its energy is 10,000,000 electron-volts. It passes through a copper cylinder (left centre) and emerges below, much weaker and making a broader line. Its energy is now only 210,000 volts and so its path is more sharply bent by the magnetic field. After traveling about...
