...agent" could be involved in its origin. Then a young (31) researcher just starting in at Manhattan's Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, went to work on a sick Plymouth Rock hen. He took material from a tumor on the bird's breast, ground it ultrafine to smash the very cells, filtered the stuff through silica so that not even a broken cell could pass, and injected the liquid into healthy chickens. They soon developed cancers of the same type (sarcoma) as the original...
Hollywood has taken a smash Broadway musical about baseball and made it into a cinematized version of This Is Your Life, with Tab Hunter playing the clean-cut All-American boy. In fact, he never ceases to look as though he just stepped out of a Gillette TV commercial. It's not that Hunter can't act, but as a singer he makes a better baseball player, and as a baseball player, fortunately, he has a double...
...Robbins teamed up with an unknown composer named Leonard Bernstein to put together a strictly Stateside ballet about sailors on shore leave. When it opened, Fancy Free (later blown up into the smash musical On the Town) became one of the greatest ballet hits in history. After that Jerry almost always had a hit. His serious ballets (Age of Anxiety, The Cage, Afternoon of a Faun) are untarnished by time, and his dance interludes for musical shows-notably the monumental madness of the Mack Sennett sequence in High Button Shoes-revitalized Broadway ballet...
...five stages simultaneously. The American Ballet Theater and New York City Ballet repertories boast Robbins creations; West Side Story and Bells Are Ringing are still packing them in. And for the first time, American audiences are getting a chance to see Ballets: U.S.A., the Robbins show that was a smash at Spoleto, Italy (TIME, June 23) and the Brussels Fair...
Brass & Wax. By giving low-voltage kicks to moving ions (charged particles), Lawrence calculated that they could be made to whirl progressively faster in a closed chamber, reaching great speed and high voltages. They could then smash atoms and transmute elements. He first demonstrated this phenomenon with a crude but spectacular Rube Goldbergish kit: a kitchen chair, clothes tree, 4-in. electromagnet, pie-sized vacuum chamber made of glass, brass and sealing wax, all put together for $25. When he hooked this odd gizmo up to an ordinary electric socket, atoms whirled around faster than those emitted by radium...
