...history of the United States but in the history of nations." As a top member of the visiting British atomic-energy mission, he knew all the secrets of the Los Alamos weapons center. At Columbia University, he worked on the gaseous-diffusion method for separating U-235 -the process now used exclusively at Oak Ridge. He knew all the ideas for improving bombs, and the thinking on the hydrogen bomb. Fuchs fed his material to stubby Harry Gold, who took it to Yakovlev at furtive meetings in restaurants and bars, at the end of elevated lines, at a Childs restaurant...

The main defect in the method: only a few particles in a million prove effective, reducing the efficiency of such processes to the vanishing point. Proof by Isotope. The consensus last week seemed to be that Physicist Richter may well have gotten promising results on a tiny laboratory scale and jumped to the false conclusion that the Cockcroft process, or something like it, could be scaled up to full production size...

He described his audience at the last hearing. "You should have seen them, pretty little teen-aged girls, hissing everyone who spoke...
...brand-new comic strip around a handsome, tough character named Steve Canyon. Last week readers of Steve Canyon and Terry (now drawn by George Wunder) were having a hard time keeping the strips apart. Both Steve and Terry, returned to active service as Air Force officers, were in the process of making air rescues of American troops cut off in Red territory in the Korean war. Both rescues were complicated by pretty, willful females-Canyon's by Dr. Deen Wilderness and Terry's by Nurse Spray O'Hara...
