...Deals." Sixteen floors up in the Rose Room, some 400 photographers, radiomen, television men and newsmen assembled for the Dewey press conference. Dewey walked in-a small, compact, aggressive man. For the space of five solid minutes, while photographers shot him, radiomen adjusted microphones, moviemen flapped their arms around his head in signals, he held his mouth in a radiant, frozen smile. "How do you feel, Governor Dewey?" In an emphatic baritone, pausing after each word, he said: "I feel swell...
...Millikan still sticks to his original long-held theory that cosmic rays come from the "annihilation of matter" (atoms turning into energy) somewhere out in space. He has elaborate evidence to prove his theory. The gathered cosmic raymen did not try to argue with their dean; neither did they agree with him. Cosmic rays are a baffling and complex phenomenon. In spite of years of concentrated work, the experts do not even agree about what they are, much less about what causes them...

Pendle Hill, set in the midst of wealthy suburban Wallingford (twelve miles southwest of Philadelphia), is a long way in time & space from the Lancashire hill where Fox saw his vision of the future Religious Society of Friends. The gently rugged founder of Quakerism, known to his age as "the man in the leather breeches," might have found Pendle Hill's four spacious stone houses, its 15 acres of trees, lawns and gardens strangely remote from the round of jails, beatings and death which...
