...week's third prizewinner, Cambridge University's brilliant young Dr. Dirac. Also, long before lightweight protons or "positrons" were experimentally observed by Caltech's Dr. Carl David Anderson (TIME, March 6), Dr. Dirac had declared such particles to be required by mathematical necessity. But this shy, angular youngster with small Wack eyes and small black mustache, already a big frog in the subatomic puddle, made his biggest splash three years ago when he declared the universe was a sea of negative electricity. Thus the nuclear protons of atoms were simply holes in the surrounding electronic field; matter...
...that on the very day TIME came out one of Brickley's and Mills' pupils was making football history. Bob Greene who has been coached by Brickley and Mills during the past weeks won a thrilling game with 30 seconds to play when he booted a perfect angular 40 yd. dropkick to give Bronxville a 9-to-7 victory over Pelham. I thought you might be able to use this, so I'm passing it along...
...copyrights). He emphasizes such abstruse, subjects as Sienese painting just enough so that the student can pose momentarily as an esoteric esthete, and gives just enough of the jargon of functionalism and modern architecture so that one need never feel ill at ease in the most angular of skyscrapers, or the most exclusive of modernistic salons.

But there was someone to take her place: angular Enid Wilson, a tall, plain, extraordinarily placid English girl who has won her own national championship regularly for the last three years. Trying to win the U. S. title as well, she failed in 1931 and 1932. Last week she started out by winning the medal with a 76, three...
...four-day festival. Solemn as Supreme Court judges, University students sat behind a bench backstage to sing the Puritans' choral music. Ann Arbor's festival singers sat on the stage on either side of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Composer Howard Hanson was there to conduct, waving his angular arms about to build up choral climaxes which helped atone for the weak orchestral moments. The Puritans' rugged, hymnlike theme dominated but there was a fetching, comic interlude when the Cavaliers fed firewater to the Indians, prepared for a May Pole dance on Merry Mount. The love-motif...
