Everyone on Broadway except the child actors remembers Percy Hammond, either with delight or something approaching brainstorm. Last week a few of Percy Hammond's intimates had gift copies of a new collection of his work. This Atom In The Audience (his own phrase), privately printed by his free-lancing son John Hammond of Newtown, Conn.

Green diamonds, highly prized by gem fanciers, are produced from ordinary white diamonds under bombardment by atomic particles in the cyclotron, atom-smasher, Associate Professor Harry Berman, Curator of the Harvard Mineralogical Museum, reported yesterday following a series of experiments...

Even physicists who turn up their noses at Buck Rogers talk had to admit that the practical harnessing of atomic power was now much nearer-though they still insist it is far off. When a slow-moving neutron hits the uranium atom's nucleus, the nucleus is constricted around the middle and finally splits, like an amoeba reproducing...
