...true, it was the biggest news in the world. Anthropologist Raphael E. G. Armattoe, interviewed in Londonderry last week, said that Russia had developed, tested and could mass produce an atom bomb that "rendered the Anglo-American one almost obsolete." It was no bigger than a tennis ball, had a horizontal pulverization range of 53 miles and a vertical lift of more than 6.2 miles, generated a temperature "in the neighborhood of several million degrees centigrade...
...York Times buried the story under a small head on page five. It also buried Dr. Armattoe in a real bit of down-the-nose, deadpan journalism. At the end of its story the Times said: "Dr. Armattoe, in his capacity as an anthropologist, was quoted in a London dispatch last April 29 as having said that brunettes 'in the main have more brains' than blondes...
BLACK METROPOLIS-St. Clair Drake & Horace R. Cayton-Harcourt, Brace $5). In the same sort of cool, clinical case history in which Robert and Helen Lynd dissected the U.S. small town in Middletown, Anthropologist Drake and Sociologist Cayton have card-indexed the manners, mores and living conditions of the U.S. Negro in a northern city.

Intelligence, he concludes flatly, has nothing to do with the shape of the head...
...Winchester Castle, "frankly perspiring" white passengers paid friendly visits to Africa-bound Anthropologist Eslanda and her eight-year-old son, Pauli, in their double first-class stateroom. But Eslanda noticed reluctance to discuss "the all-important subject of Native affairs," recognized her British callers as " 'Deep South' white folks . . . only more so." In Cape Town it was a relief to hear the white telephone operator say: "We hope you both have a pleasant visit, and we hope Mr. Robeson comes out soon." She took them to be "the voice of the little people." Blushes & Raw Meat. Africa...
