...good are the foreign-trained doctors now flocking to the U.S.? In far too many cases, not good enough, says Dr. Willard C. Rappleye, dean of Columbia University's Faculty of Medicine. Reason: their schooling is inadequate by U.S. standards...
Ripples & Loops. Miss Thrijtway and her owner, Seattle Grocer Willard Rhodes, were out to settle an old score. Last year on Lake Washington, Rhodes figured he and Miss Thrijtway had the Gold Cup won, watched his driver, Bill Muncey, given a victory .dunking, only to learn later that Detroit's Gale V had taken first on corrected scoring. Now, Miss Thrijtway once more finished the final heat in front...
Though carefully restrained in tone, the memo to Texas A & M's 800 county agents and staffmen scattered across the state was nevertheless a solemn warning. Its author was 64-year-old D. Willard Williams, the institution's vice chancellor in charge of agriculture and one of the nation's top agricultural experts.

After watching this happen for a total of 1,371 hours and taking elaborate precautions to eliminate false signals, Reines and Cowan announced that they had really detected neutrinos. AEC Commissioner Willard F. Libby congratulated them on their "magnificent accomplishment." Now nuclear physics can use neutrinos without an uneasy conscience. Further neutrino experiments, Libby hinted, may reveal deep secrets about the structure of matter. They may tell what happened to matter that turned into neutrinos in the hearts of stars billions of years...
