...enigma of famed Physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer lingers on chiefly because he swallowed the key to the Oppenheimer case-his own character. One of the strangest, most mystifying glimpses of that character was furnished by the "Chevalier incident," which played a substantial part in the Atomic Energy Commission's 1954 decision to lift Oppenheimer's security clearance. Now one of the principals in that incident has written a novel, and there is more than a hint from both author and publisher that the book will explain the Oppenheimer mystery. Because the Oppenheimer case, perhaps second only...
H.B.G. Casimir, physicist and director of Phillips Research Laboratories at Eindhoven, Netherlands, is scheduled to deliver the first lecture of the series, "Science in Industry," Thursday, Nov. 12, at Adams House. Casimir will also preside over a Physics Colloquium Monday...
Except for physical sciences, headed by Nuclear Physicist Gustav Hertz, almost every Leipzig department has been destroyed academically. Compulsory courses (Marxism, Russian) help to keep a student in school as long as 13 hours a day. Homework is often an evening spent proselytizing citizens about Marxism. "Vacation" is an assignment in the coal mines or harvesting crops. While prune-faced female lecturers drone on about the miracles of collectivization, the student "sport" society dutifully digs foxholes and practices with carbines. As paid employees of the state, students have little trouble passing as long as they remain politically reliable. The school...
...worth about $14,250), plus some $35,625 in other windfall gifts that will be applied to his famed jungle hospital in Gabon, central Africa. That evening, at a state banquet in Copenhagen's Christian-borg Castle, Dr. Schweitzer met another Nobelman, Denmark's aging (74) Atomic Physicist Niels Bohr, for the first time. Seated together, the two talked seriously, reportedly found themselves in complete agreement that nuclear test explosions should be stopped...
...Lunik III soared on, Soviet scientists waxed confident, began to loosen up about its objectives. Leningrad Physicist Lev Ponayeton said that data from the unseen side of the moon will help determine its shape and distribution of mass, which will be of tremendous help to manned space flights. Semi-official science reporters went farther, predicted that Lunik III would transmit actual photographs of the other side of the moon. Official scientists did not mention photographs, but it was significant that they launched their rocket at a time when most of the far side of the moon was in sunlight. Presumably...
