...President that we must withdraw from Korea-to hell with our brave kids . . . and to invite butchers of our wounded boys to seats at the U.N. . . . America will go it alone!" The British consul-general in Los Angeles wrote a letter in reply to suggest politely that Birdwell keep cool and to ask, "Can he cite a single instance in which Britain pulled out and left her allies to bear the brunt of battle...
...Nonentity. When Harry Truman became President, Ross wrote for the P-D a cool, detached judgment of his old friend: "He has been called an average American, but he is better than average. He is not a nonentity and no Harding. He may not have the makings of a great President, but he has the makings of a good President." One of the first things President Truman did was to persuade Ross to give up his $35,000-a-year job with the P-D and become press secretary at $10,000 (later raised...
...taken baton in hand, conducted the New York City Ballet orchestra in ballet performances. At 46, a U.S. resident for 17 years and a citizen for twelve, he is also, beyond doubt, the finest living choreographer. No one today can equal the lyric grace of his inventions, the cool classicism of his abstract designs. Totting up all of his various qualities, the Nation's exacting B. H. Haggin goes so far as to call him "the greatest living creative artist...
...galaxies scattered through the depths of space. Dr. A. C. B. Lovell, head of Jodrell Bank, suspects that they are just as numerous as the visible stars. They may be stars being formed, he speculates, out of interstellar gas. They may be dying stars (black dwarfs) too cool to shed visible light. Or they may be something new and still undreamed of by astronomers...
...essential part is a spherical stainless steel tank one foot in diameter. Inside is a water solution of uranyl nitrate which contains 1.9 lb. of fissionable U-235. Water running through a coiled tube keeps the reactor cool, and another tube piercing the sphere gives access to its interior. One big advantage of HYPO is that it is self-regulating. If the chain reaction gets going too fast, the solution heats up and expands, reducing its density and therefore its reactivity. So the reaction slows down automatically until the solution has cooled off. This built-in stability makes HYPO...
