...Father Coughlin is a great orator but I doubt that he has a sincere atom in his entire system. We Jews have nothing to fear from good Christians. We are their brothers and sisters. But I am afraid of people who pretend to be good Christians. You must unite to protect yourselves...
...years ago that another brainy German, Max Planck, discovered that atoms do not radiate light continuously or in indiscriminate amounts, but in separate pulses and uniform quantities which were subsequently called quanta. Planck's constant, h, is equal to .00000000000000000000000000655 erg-seconds. For any sort of light the energy multiplied by the period of vibration is always equal to h. To a physicist grouping within the atom, h and the quantum mechanics which have grown up around it are as important as bait, hook & line to a fisherman...
...hailed Governor Merriam last autumn as "a symbol of strength, progress and stability of traditional growth" now declared: "Would Upton Sinclair have done worse in the gubernatorial chair than the man who defeated him? It may well be doubted. He might even have done better, for he has an atom or two of genius in his composition while all one can discern in Merriam is cobwebs from an empty skull. Heaven help us before we perish from the folly of having chosen such a man as Governor...
Radiant Copper. Dr. Ernest Orlando Lawrence, 33, wears octagonal spectacles and harries the atom with an 85-ton electromagnet in a ramshackle old building on the University of California's campus. Dr. Lawrence and his associates have done the most intensive work in the U.S. on artificial radioactivity. Lately the young physicist succeeded in inducing radioactivity in sodium. Since common salt contains sodium, the prospect immediately arose of injecting harmless but radioactive saline solutions into the human body as a cancer remedy. Few weeks ago Dr. Lawrence was appointed a research consultant of Columbia University's Crocker Institute...
Probing deeper into the mysteries of the atom, Dr. L. R. Van Wert of the Graduate School of Engineering has devised a new method of investigating the atomic structure of metal alloys. The effects of pressures as high as 20,000 atmospheres on the speed with which certain alloys undergo agehardening are studied in his process...
