...long-range problem is to find out whether antiparticles have antigravity. Some theorists think that they do. repelling ordinary matter instead of attracting it in the normal way. Physicist Segrè thinks this unlikely, but he says that the question of anti-gravity cannot be answered conclusively without an actual experiment. One way would be to isolate anti-neutrons and observe whether they rise in the earth's gravitational field instead of falling as neutrons do. This experiment looks difficult, and Dr. Segrè fears that it may not be accomplished for another generation...
...felt that the chapel could be used for "neutral purposes" not involving actual religious ceremony. Concerts and recitals might come under this heading. In particular, he said that Memorial Church, having a Christian tradition, should not be used for religious purposes by other denominations...

...signs were that come election day, Strijdom's Nationalists, thanks to effective gerrymandering, would win something like their present majority (94 out of 159 seats) in South Africa's House of Assembly, even if, as last time, they do not get an actual majority of votes. But whoever won, it would make little real difference to the nation's 9,250,000 voteless Africans, who outnumber the whites three to one. For anyone who cherished the illusion that the Nationalists were unique in their commitment to white supremacy. Sir de Villiers Graaf, leader of the United Party...
...come from the reactor. The heavy villains are the radium-painted luminous dials and markers used to permit operating in the dark. In a completely closed ventilating system with recycled air, the radon gas emitted by such markers becomes so concentrated that it could hinder detection of an actual reactor leak. After the markers were replaced by a nonradioactive type, an appreciable radon concentration remained. It was found to come from the dials of crewmen's luminous wristwatches, but was fortunately too low to menace health...
