...professor has injected fresh spirit and purpose into the Republican Party in a key state. More important, he has demonstrated anew that one man, against odds, can cause a mighty stir...
...asked West Germany (which is forbidden by treaty to allow manufacture of atomic bombs) to classify the newest design as secret. But scientists say that the secret is already out. The Brazilian atomic energy commission already owns three early models of the West German machine, and an Amsterdam professor is designing others "for commercial purposes." When the U.N. Political Committee takes up the subject of disarmament this week, there should be a new urgency about the Big Four at last reaching agreement on controlling the atom...
...centrifuge was not forgotten. Atomic Energy Commission scientists kept working on it, as did many Europeans, especially in West Germany. Prominent in this work were Professor Wilhelm Groth, of Bonn University, and Gernot Zippe, who built a gas centrifuge for the U.S.S.R. and was hired in 1958 by the AEC. Zippe returned to Germany last July and is now associated with the Degussa Co. of Frankfurt, which is manufacturing the centrifuges experimentally...
...Professor Groth says that existing centrifuges require only one-tenth as much electric power as diffusion apparatus of the same capacity. The present Degussa model can be built for about $1,000. and according to Zippe, it will produce in one year about one pound of U-235. Improvements already in sight will increase this figure. Both Groth and Zippe believe that centrifuges will eventually compete economically with gaseous diffusion in making nuclear fuel, enriched in U-235, for atomic power plants...
...avoid a mere travelogue, Lamorisse built his story around a Quixotic professor out to demonstrate that a balloon is the ideal means of transportation. At the last moment, his grandson talks his way aboard. The eventful flight-they follow flocks of exotic birds, drop in on a bullfight-is followed by a supply car on the ground carrying the professor's comic assistant, a Chaplinesque caricature of gadget-addicted modern man, whose wine bottle is hinged within reach and who uses an automatic feeder so that he doesn't have to stop driving. One of Voyage...
