...proper names and titles of foreigners. It's a tough job. For example, one Siamese name, recently added to the files, was transliterated seven different ways by various news sources-and more than half of the folders in our files (there are over 300,000 in all) contain names that cannot be found in Who's Who or in any other standard reference work.

Weisz developed a photoelectric adaptation of the Geiger-Miiller counter (usually used for detecting radio activity), which responds to a flame or spark but not to ordinary light...
