Today everybody expects to live longer. But the man who can give the best longevity estimate, at least for one out of every five Americans, is Carrol Meteer Shanks, president of the Prudential Insurance Co. of America, which has 33.2 million carefully analyzed policyholders. By charting a man's age, background, diseases, job, habits, even his morals, the Pru can chart the odds on the death age down to the last decimal. The Pru's tables show that a male policyholder aged 21 will probably live to be 73 years old, one aged 30 will live...

Two years ago Elliot Lake was only some lines on a chart.

Of the $122,000 he has won, income taxes will let the unmarried, $4,400-a-year instructor keep perhaps as little...
...about two experiments proving that the "parity law," one of the cornerstones of nuclear physics, is a man-made convention which does not bind nature except in special cases. According to the parity law, objects that are mirror images of each other must obey the same physical rules (see chart). Applied to nuclear physics about 30 years ago, this principle became extremely important. Theories that seemed to violate it were summarily rejected. Much of the structure of modern nuclear physics was erected on parity...
