Last week Webb announced that Holmes's job will be taken over by Dr. George E. Mueller, 45, vice president for research and development of Los Angeles' Space Technology Laboratories, one of the U.S.'s biggest space-age contractors. Holmes's successor, says a NASA official, is "very quiet, very polite and no table thumper like Holmes." Both an electrical engineer and a physicist by training, Mueller (pronounced Miller) has done notable and imaginative work in electromagnetic theory, missile guidance systems, deep space communications, microwave research, space-systems engineering and space payload design. He helped develop...
...radioactive fallout. The agreement may also help to check nuclear proliferation. Red China will scarcely give up its project to build an Abomb, nor is Charles de Gaulle likely to abandon his cherished force de frappe.

Because they have more to learn from below-ground testing than the U.S., the Russians have more to gain by an intensive underground testing program...

So, by the arcane logic of scientific research, what appears to be a hopeful line of cancer research is being conducted by one of the world's greatest authorities on muscle. He is Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, 69, the Hungarian-born Nobel prizewinner* who is head of the Institute for Muscle Research in Woods Hole, Mass...
