...most precious, and most damning, piece of information came in 1945 from Ethel's younger brother David Greenglass, then employed as a machinist in the supersecret atomic bomb laboratory at Los Alamos, N. Mex. Ethel had used older-sister cajolery, and Julius had given money ("Money is no object," Julius had said, explaining that it came from "friends") to persuade David and his confused wife Ruth to join the treasonable conspiracy. Later, Yakovlev conveyed the commendation of his masters in Moscow for Greenglass' sketches: "Extremely excellent and very valuable." At the Rosenberg trial, a U.S, atomic expert, examining...
...better . . . You are not going to get us involved in a war between the two groups of homicidal maniacs in the U.S.S.R. and the U.S. A plague on both your houses! The idiotic idea you have over there that you can kill an "ism" by bullets or atom bombs is so moronic that you certainly had better figure on "going it alone...
...prehistoric monster tangled up in a Coney Island roller coaster. But the picture is a flattie, and unfortunately the writing and direction are as flat as the photography. The beast is a 40-ft.-high "rhedosaurus," which gets to Coney Island after being dislodged by an Arctic atom-bomb test from a 100 million-year hibernation.

The picture has a few scary moments when the special-effects men, unhampered by antediluvian human dramatics, let the rhedosaurus run loose...

Last week, when his 306th Medium Bombardment Wing, battle-loaded with dummy atom bombs, set out for a 90-day tour in England, Colonel McCoy bent no throttles. Leading the first formation of 15 planes from Limestone, Maine to Fairford, Gloucestershire, the colonel took 5 hr. 53 min. to make the crossing...
...flowery world of commencement orators ("Commencement is not an end, but a beginning"), there are always dragons to be slain. Last week was no exception. The orators slew Senator McCarthy dozens of times; they jabbed at the Atom, slashed at the Soviet, spoke well of freedom-academic and otherwise. But at Pennsylvania State College, one man took on a dragon that seemed to him more dangerous than all the rest. Said Clarence Manion, lawyer and former dean of Notre Dame's College...
