Last week Getty set London abuzz with what seemed at first glance an amazing about-face. He announced that he was buying the Duke of Sutherland's vast Sutton Place mansion* on an estate near Woking, 23 miles from London (14 principal bedrooms. 20 servants' rooms, 16 baths, 140-ft. ballroom, 140-ft. library, and Great Hall with minstrels' balcony). Price for the house plus swimming pool, nine-hole golf course and 174 acres of parkland: a Getty secret, but probably well over...
...Phil. 139 and holds forth with Nietzsche, Mill, and Santayana in Emerson F. The Nietzschean spirit seems to haunt the the rest of the building at this hour. For the up-and-coming Raskolnikov Dr. Wheeler in Soc. Rel. 184 (Emerson A) carefully examines where such greats as Willy Sutton and Mack the Knife slipped up. As insurance, "cops and robbers" finishes up with a study on the ins and outs of prisons...
WINSTON'S formula is so successful that his own dreams have literally come true. He moves among jewel-like homes on Manhattan's Sutton Square, in Paris' Faubourg St.-Germain and the Riviera's St.-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. On both sides of the Atlantic he is a lavish and witty host to society and royalty. Socialites, politicians, ambassadors and industrialists come to admire his golden-eyed. part-Cherokee wife Rosita (the eighth best-dressed woman in the U.S.), his superb table and cellars, and his tastefully decorated walls (three dozen major works by Renoir, Matisse, Degas...
Jumbles Made Sharp. The result was magical. Seismograph records that were hardly more than meaningless jumbles turned into clear, sharp records of distant earthquakes. When Dr. Sutton showed these records to a recent Washington meeting of seismologists, the contrast was so striking that the sophisticated audience burst into applause...
Pomeroy and Sutton are guarded about the effect their filters will have on international networks for detecting underground nuclear tests. They calculate that six stations equipped with the new instruments could detect most underground disturbances anywhere on earth that have the energy of a "nominal" (20-kiloton) nuclear bomb. Between 20 and 50 stations (v. the presently postulated 180) would be required not only to detect but also locate such disturbances. They are not prepared to estimate just how many more would be required to detect explosions of bombs as small as 5 kilotons or how accurately they could distinguish...
