...Lamb Chop. He kept Congress in an uproar. He railed against Andrew Volstead and his dry law, once concocted home brew in a Harlem drugstore in a fruitless attempt to get himself arrested. During a speech on high prices, he waved a lamb chop at his congressional colleagues. He helped write the Norris-LaGuardia Act, which banned "yellow-dog" labor contracts and strikebreaking by injunction...
...Lamb & Lectures. In a quarter-century as A.U.B.'s president, Bayard Dodge has done more than any other single American to win and keep good will for the U.S. in the Near East. The friend and teacher of sheiks, princes and prime ministers, he knows how to eat rice and roast lamb the Arab way. He also knows how to lecture his Arab friends like a kindly if somewhat exasperated uncle, without losing their affection or respect. His favorite lecture topics: the inadequacy of "political formulae and agitation" to solve Arab Asia's problems; the need for hard...
Every time an honored theory is disproved or amended, science makes a little progress. For 20 years the Dirac theory of electron behavior has been the bible of wave (quantum) mechanics.* Last week Columbia University announced that two of its young scientists, Professor Willis Lamb, 34, and Robert Retherford, 35, had knocked a prop from under the Dirac theory. Their experiment, said Columbia's Nobel Physicist Isidor Isaac Rabi, revealed new facts which will be of "inestimable value in future research...
...Dirac theory predicts, among many other things, that hydrogen atoms can exist in two different "states"-one stable, the other unstable-which contain the same amount of energy. Lamb & Retherford checked up with ultrashort radio waves (war-developed for radar), and found that this prediction was not correct...
This "absolute leader" turned out to be Chicago's Reynolds Pen Co., first and foremost exploiter ($20,857,000 sold in two years) of ball-point pens. But why were Chairman "Milton Reynolds and President Franklin Lamb willing to sell this purported gold mine for a song? Reynolds, who rode around the world in 79 hours in his "Bombshell" (TIME, April 28), said that he wanted to free himself "to devote more time to aviation research." Lamb had a different reason. If he and Reynolds died now without their assets in liquid form, he explained, their families might have...
