But, explained a distinguished M.I.T. physicist one day last week, they were just about all that any schoolboy would need to build himself a device that could measure the amount of silver deposited in electroplating. In another room in M.I.T.'s sprawling Building 2, a colleague toyed with a tray of marbles to demonstrate molecular action. Near by, another scientist was making a telescope out of cheap lenses, curtain rings, a cardboard cylinder, and some pieces of hose from a truck radiator...
...Chairman Lewis Strauss for a 45-minute conference with the President. The scientists: Edward Teller, credited with the theoretical discovery that led to a successful H-bomb, Ernest O. Lawrence, Nobel Prizewinning director of the University of California's radiation laboratory at Livermore, Calif., and Mark M. Mills, physicist and head of the lab's theoretical division. They brought a report of grave but potentially hopeful meaning. In the lab at Livermore, they told the President, scientists have found how to make H-bombs that will be 96% freer from radioactive fallout than the first models. Given more...
...more than 10,000 scientists backed by something like $500 million will give the earth a long, complex, intent going-over. The IGY, which runs from 7:00 p.m. E.S.T.

Now 62 nations have joined the worldwide effort. The Dominican Republic...
