...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...

...special fields within it. A general education in science needs to be provided for the future scientist or technologist as well as for the general student. One could scarcely insist that all students of history or literature should learn some biology, for example, but that the prospective physicist or chemist need...
...abolition of the principle of parity (TIME, Jan. 28) threw physics into an enjoyable turmoil from which it has not yet emerged. If long-sacred parity was laid low, the physicists argued eagerly, why shouldn't other lordly laws bite the dust too? Even gravitation, supposed to be pretty well explained by Einstein's general relativity, might be vulnerable. Last week the top award ($1,000) of the Gravity Research Foundation, New Boston, N.H. went to a paper by Physicist Philip Morrison of Cornell and Astronomer Thomas Gold of Harvard which argues that somewhere in the universe there...
