...Because silver compounds (e.g., Argyrol) are potent germicides, a black silver-plastic mixture which can be permanently coated about the rims of drinking glasses and bottles was developed by Physicist Alexander Goetz and Bacteriologist Ralph L. Tracy of Caltech. Within a short while after lip contact, the rather decorative rim completely sterilizes itself...
...rubber so elastic?" asked Physicist Eugene Guth of Notre Dame. "This is a problem which has baffled scientists for a long time and it was not until recently that an explanation could be offered. . . . A property of rubber, not well known, can easily be demonstrated with a rubber band. Stretch it quickly against the upper lip. It feels warm. Conversely, if it is kept stretched for a little while, then released, it feels cool. This generation of heat by the band . . . proves that the relation between the heat of the rubber and its compression is similar to that...
...mechanism of rubber elasticity. Physicist Guth said: "The molecules of rubber are like long flexible strings. . . . If one throws a flexible string into the air, it will land in a curved, coiled-up form, rather than a straight form. Similarly, in an unstretched rubber band, the rubber molecules will be coiled up. Stretching the rubber actually stretches its long flexible molecules from the curved to the straight form...
...Hugh A. Drum, Baptist Nelson A. Rockefeller, Jewish Governor Lehman and twelve other bigwigs, small, genial President Gannon had a wonderful time. He showed his guests an up-to-date university: Fordham has a big-time football team, a world-famed seismograph (earthquake-recording) station, a Nobel Prize winner (Physicist Victor F. Hess), a downtown branch in the Woolworth Building, schools of law, business, social service, pharmacy. Of Fordham's 8,200 students, only 1,400 are in its liberal arts college...
