...only shepherded his colleagues through their court battles but has maintained a spectacular standing offer to sell vast C. & S. outright to the Government before it is destroyed piecemeal. Last week Mr. Willkie was again yanked to Washington by a House & Senate committee. Nominally he went to explain what was holding up the negotiations for TVA's purchase of Tennessee Electric Power Co., one of four C. & S. operating subsidiaries in the Tennessee Valley. But, well aware that the committee was winding up its labors on a report that will have the attentive ear of Congress when it convenes...
...Edward Carl Stevenson of Harvard also vouched for the existence of this queer entity. At first there seemed to be no place for it in the physical scheme. Then it was recalled that the Japanese physicist, Yukawa, had postulated the existence of just such a thing to help explain energy exchanges in the atomic nucleus. In honor of Yukawa, there is a tendency in Europe to call the particles yukons. The name barytron ("heavy particle") is gaining favor in the U. S. At the American Physical Society's convention in Chicago last week, barytrons were a popular subject...
With the exasperating social psychology that Mr. Howe considers strong evidence of English decay, English critics explain his Anglophobia by saying blandly that he did not enjoy his stay at Cambridge 17 years ago. This theory is almost enough in itself to make Quincy Howe heave another book at the British lion...

The implications of this statement are vastly more important to science than the actual splitting of blood pigment molecules. If the quantization of biological processes can be continued far enough, it will be possible to explain in exact mathematical terms-in terms of atomic energy levels and electronspins-what happens when insulin is secreted in the pancreas, when starch is broken down in the digestive system, when an ovum is penetrated and fertilized by a spermatozoon, many & many a complex biological phenomenon...
