...Pirates are looking better. Part-Owner Crosby seemed pleased with them, and the feeling was mutual. In pre-game practice at Los Angeles' Wrigley Field, the Pirates obligingly rifled 80% of their hits squarely at Bing. Crosby, a fair country ballplayer, stopped the ones that wouldn't knock out his front teeth, clowned on the rest of them. He hit fungoes, played around with a catcher's mitt (see cut). Then Bing watched morosely while his peanut-jinxed Pirates lost to the Chicago Cubs, 4-3. A week later the Pirates took on the Cleveland Indians...
Forrestal's decision to knock J.C.S. heads together and get them to agree on a general plan for the nation's defense was the climax of months of wrangling.

Lattes, 23, put a thin carbon target in a beam of alpha particles (helium nuclei) in the cyclotron chamber. Figuring that the alpha particles had enough power (380 million electron volts) to knock mesons out of the carbon atoms, Gardner & Lattes put a stack of special photographic plates at the spot where the mesons should hit. Then they turned on the cyclotron. When they developed the plates, they found the characteristic wavy tracks of negative mesons. Some of them ended in "stars...
