...week Great Britain seemed to be more afraid of peace than war. London circulated a weird story: to convince the U. S. that Hitler had become a penitent, religious man, Father Odo had been sent to the U. S. by Clipper. Father Odo is Karl Alexander Maria Philipp Joseph Albrecht Gregor, His Royal Highness the Duke of Württemberg, whose father, Duke Albrecht, was a Field Marshal of World War I fame. Father Odo's mission was said to be to sell the U. S. on Hitler's plan for a united Christian Europe and the conquest...
Since the 16th-Century days of Albrecht Dürer, art has not been Germany's strong point.

Last year Cornell University's brilliant, Alsatian-born atomic theorist, Professor Hans Albrecht Bethe, trotted out a plausible explanation of how the sun converts hydrogen into radiant energy, and so keeps on shining (TIME, Feb. 27, 1939). At temperatures above 15,000,000° C. (the sun's internal temperature is calculated at 20,000,000° C.), Dr. Bethe found that hydrogen atoms would attack carbon. The carbon would be transmitted into other forms, but after a series of six separate atomic conversions, it would reappear, while hydrogen atoms (of which the sun has enough to last...

...Hans Albrecht Bethe likes skiing, economics and riding on trains, but spends most of his time mulling over theoretical physics. Last summer he married Rose Ewald, daughter of a distinguished Ger man theoretical physicist exiled in Ireland. At Cornell, Dr. Bethe lives with his wife and mother in a cottage in Cayuga Heights. He does most of his work in an easy chair in the living room. Tools : a stack of reference books, a batch of paper, a slide rule, a fountain pen, a powerful brain...
