...world, Ettore and Louis crawled into a ring in the Municipal Stadium. The fight, which drew a crowd of 50,000, lasted five lively rounds. In the first, two rights put Ettore down for a short count. In the second and third, Ettore, who had promised to knock Louis into the 15th row, courageously belabored his opponent's ribs, caused the expression of pained bewilderment that Louis wore throughout the Schmeling fight to cross his face again. In the fourth, a Louis right produced another knockdown. Still dizzy, Ettore went down again in the fifth. When the referee counted...

...associates at Columbia have set the neutron diameter at one ten-trillionth of an inch. Unlike electrons, positrons, protons and deuterons, neutrons have no electric charge. Hence they make splendid projectiles for bombardment since they are not repelled by the positive charges on the atomic nuclei. Alpha particles knock neutrons in quantity out of beryllium and other light elements at speeds up to 30,000 miles per second. When the neutron hits a nucleus it either bounces off, transforming the atom instantly into another element, or is captured, producing a swollen, unstable atom which spits out the awkward excess...
