...hoopla that accompanied Stanley's mission to Africa, it was a secret affair compared to the electronic safari that serpentined through French Equatorial Africa last week under the intrepid leadership of TV's Arthur Godfrey. Not only did Godfrey overcome serious communications hazards to beam regular bureeek reports back home for his millions of listeners but, where Stanley merely found Livingstone, Godfrey & Friends achieved the heretofore unheard-of feat of introducing underarm deodorant to the people of the Dark Continent. For a static-free report of the mission, see TV-RADIO, White Hunter...

While his colleagues beam in admiring good will, President Grayson Kirk sings his praises as "an able and exciting teacher," the Graduate English Department information desk bears the legend "Only Charles Van Doren Knows All the Answers." and his students decorate the blackboard with such questions as "For $52,500, what did Plato mean by Justice?" At St. John's, where only two faculty members deign to own TV sets, President Richard Weigle went to a neighborhood bar to catch last week...
Simplest way to do this would be to build two conventional accelerators and make their particles collide, but all the machines known today shoot out so few particles that collisions between them would be too rare. Dr. Jones described a special accelerator that yields a beam so dense that it should cause many collisions with another beam. Better yet is Ohkawa's idea: an accelerator with two streams of particles circulating in opposite directions in the same circular path. Guided in a chainlike pattern by magnetic fields of alternating direction, the streams will cross each other many times...
Perhaps he follows the critic's beam hoping the critic will lend it to him after a while, hoping that if he reads "Paradise Lost" often enough, he will discover his own experience.

If he reads a book about which he has heard enough, he can only react in those particular terms. He may reject or accept...
...hideaways in the cliffs, poured shells point-blank into men and landing craft. The "average life" of the invaders on the beach was "measured in a handful of seconds." Author Thompson, a British war correspondent, ably describes "the shuddering chaos of ships and men," the massacres in the beam of a German searchlight, the tragic survivors, a few of whom were found wander ing days later in England, not knowing "who they were or where they were...
