Teilhard, drawing both from his scientific experience and from the mystical vision of his faith, reached the conviction that Christianity, and Christianity alone, in its Catholic form could save the modern world from intellectual despair by revealing the full spiritualizing significance of our scientific and technical endeavors. To accomplish this, communications had to be re-established between the two distinct worlds of science and of the Church. A breach between them has not always existed. In the days of Aquinas, for instance, science and religion were not yet alienated. But since then, a gradual process has drawn them apart. Teilhard...
...fuel is uranyl sulphate dissolved in heavy water (which does not absorb as many neutrons as ordinary water). When this solution is flowing in a small-bore pipe, it does not react, because the fissionable uranium atoms are too strung out to form a critical mass. But when the fuel solution flows into a spherical reaction chamber, the compact mass becomes critical. A nuclear chain reaction starts, and heats the solution. Before the reaction goes too far, the solution is sucked away by pumps and forced through a heat exchanger, where it heats ordinary water to produce high-pressure steam...
According to Taylor, the funds are in the form of a subsidy of $2,000 for each Woodrow Wilson Fellow currently enrolled in the respective graduate schools.

The remaining quarter, said Taylor, will be at the discretion of the institution, for improving its graduate programs...

...Boyars (Janus Films). Russia's Sergei Eisenstein (1898-1948) has been described as the Michelangelo of the cinema. In the '20s, Potemkin, Ten Days That Shook the World and Old and New established him as the film's greatest master of vast composition and dynamic form. In 1943, in the midst of World War II, he started work on a huge film chronicle of the reign of Ivan the Terrible. For Part 1, which was shown in the U.S. (TIME, April 14, 1947), Eisenstein won a Stalin Prize. But Part 2 displeased Stalin, and Eisenstein died before...
