...Japs had left Tarlac nothing but a blackened husk of a town. They had got their men out and destroyed their supplies. Only in the northeast they were fighting like catamounts, forcing some Sixth Army units to fierce local combat, which was incongruous with the overall pattern of planned withdrawal. There was evidence that the enemy, having been bested by Krueger in 16 operations, at last had realized that it was useless to fight an old soldier on his own terms...

It was he whom the President first sent to meet Churchill and Stalin, and he who first suggested the Atlantic Charter meetings where Churchill...
...technique for molecular photography was originated by famed British Physicist Sir William Lawrence Bragg (TIME, Oct. 3, 1938), pioneer in the X-ray study of molecular crystals. He found that X rays, when diffracted by crystals, provide clues for calculating the pattern of atoms in a molecule. Using this information, he developed certain films, made of light and dark bands, which, when superimposed on the X-ray picture, make the atomic pattern visible. By enlargement of such a photograph, a molecule can be magnified 250,000,000 times...

...fluid defenses, in which the players shift back & forth from zone defense to man-to-man, with variations. Even the old set plays have acquired delicate subtleties comparable to the different blocking assignments that give a football team half a dozen kinds of off-tackle plays from one basic pattern...
