...Among them: Philosopher William Olaf Stapledon, Astronomer Michael W. Ovenden, Nuclear Physicist L. R. Shepherd, Mathematician D. F. Lawden...
...National Bureau of Standards, Physicist Joseph Feinstein studied the strange reports. Even allowing for some bending of radio waves in the dense lower atmosphere, conventional theory could not explain what was happening. Feinstein knew that just as there is some light reflected back when light waves pass from air through glass, a small amount of V.H.F. energy is reflected when V.H.F. waves cut upward through the thinning atmosphere. Perhaps, he reasoned, if minute amounts of this energy are reflected in such a way that they reinforce each other, weak but detectable signals will be heard at unexpected distances...
...nearly all nuclear physicists know atomic secrets of some sort and therefore must keep their mouths shut for fear of an unintentional slip. Because he is bound by no security rules, Physicist Hans Thirring of Austria may speculate freely about atomic weapons on the basis of what is known to all the world's physicists. In the latest issue of Britain's Discovery, Dr. Thirring discusses the possibilities of radiological warfare, an old favorite of his (TIME...
Married. Vladimir Zworykin, 62, Russian-born, Russian-trained physicist, the "father of television," who developed the iconoscope (eye) of the TV camera in 1923, now laments: "We never dreamed of Howdy Doody on Television - we always thought television would find its highest value in science and industry"; and Katherine Polevitzky, 62, Russian-born professor of bacteriology at the University of Pennsylvania; both for the second time; in Burlington...
...Imports. As rector, Werner Richter hopes to spread his "universal approach." The university he heads was once one of Germany's greatest-a place that boasted such great names as Historian von Treitschke and Physicist von Helmholtz, such alumni as Nietzsche and Carl Schurz. But like other German institutions, it had fallen into rigid habits -a narrow scholarship for narrow specialists...
