...examined the special stars that astronomers had used for a generation to measure great distances-and found that they had been misinterpreted. Thus the observed universe, through Baade's work, doubled in size. In 1952, in collaboration with Rudolph Minkowski (TIME, June 27), he found the first pair of galaxies in collision. This proved that galaxies do in fact collide. Baade therefore examined close clus ters of galaxies for evidence that some of them may have collided in the past. Sure enough, such cluster galaxies contained few of the young stars of Population I, meaning that they had indeed...
...also improved sharply since 1956's Melbourne Olympics. As a team, Russia will be the biggest threat to the continuing domination of track events by the U.S. With their trials still to come, Russian coaches last week were speaking guardedly of their young stars but praised a pair of sprinters named Leonid Bartenyev and Edwin Ozolin. Other sprinters around the world are also pointing for the U.S., including Germany's Armin Hary and Britain's Peter Radford...

...write for the voice as though it were something besides an instrument. Vocally, the score is in the Verdi-Puccini tradition; orchestrally, it recalls most frequently the sonorities of Richard Strauss, especially of Rosenkavalier. Giannini did not shy away from penning a beautiful, lush love duet for each pair of lovers. The first act has a fugal trio that can take its place with the finale fugue in Verdi's Falstaff; and the third act has a masterly vocal sextet...
...convenient tracer to follow the metabolic pathways of ordinary iodine. But it has not yet been used in humans. An odd mother-daughter combination is ruthenium-rhodium 106. Long-lived ruthenium 106 gives birth to short-lived rhodium 106, which in turn gives off energetic beta rays. The pair had seemed promising to destroy acid-secreting glands in certain cases of peptic ulcer. But some centers reported they have already quit using it because of excessive danger to technicians handling it. Said Dr. Marshall Brucer, medical chief at the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies and a veteran...
