...Defensive. Stocky, 69-year-old Bishop Otto Dibelius, chairman of the Council of Evangelical Churches (EKID) in both the Western and Eastern zones of Germany, was as quick to react as he had been against the aggressions of the Nazis. He promptly called on Otto Grotewohl, Minister-President of the Eastern German government, and presented documented evidence of Communist oppression of clergymen, church welfare groups and devout laymen. Grotewohl dismissed Dibelius' evidence as "insufficient." Other Soviet officials suggested that clergymen who did not support the Communists' "national front" should be severely punished. Bishop Dibelius' next move...
...theory is that physical surroundings, especially temperature changes, cause colds, but that the possibilities have been neglected by single-minded bacteriologists who are more interested in proving that bacteria or viruses are the cause. In short, said Dr. Kerr: "A cold is simply a failure to react to an overall cooling of the body ... A cold is no more infectious than a toothache. The terms Viruses' and 'allergic states' are medical escape terms...
...reaction discussed by the author uses deuterium (heavy hydrogen) packed into a layer around the uranium detonator. Deuterium atoms, which are given the comparatively low energy of 100,000 electron volts, says the article, will react with each other on collision, turning into helium 3 and a single free neutron. The products fly apart, with a speed equivalent to 3.3 million electron volts...
...author does not think much of this simple "dd reaction." Probably not enough deuterium atoms would collide squarely. The reaction would probably die out before much of the material had a chance to react, and thus the bomb would not be very destructive. It might be much better, says the author, to surround the uranium detonator with lithium hydride. When hydrogen and lithium atoms in this common chemical compound are given sufficient energy, they react with one another, forming two atoms of helium 4. It takes only 100,000 electron volts, says the article, to start the reaction. Each atomic...
Mayhem has become so much a part of professional hockey that players and fans alike react to the rhythmic thudding of stick on skull almost as complacently as concertgoers listening to the kettledrums. But last week the National Hockey League's scholarly President Clarence Campbell decided that Defenseman Kenny Reardon of the Montreal Canadiens had gone a little too far. Discussing his feud with Toronto's Cal Gardner in the March issue of Sport magazine, Reardon was quoted as saying...
