The happy couples have included a Douglas Aircraft executive, two Medal of Honor winners, All-America athletes, an atom physicist, Phi Beta Kappas, a TV producer and Jinx Falkenburg's brother.

NUCLEAR-POWER race will be greatly influenced by big 150,000 kw. reactor in southern Italy. World Bank, which is expected to help finance Italian project, will ask seven internationally known atom experts to choose best system. Result may largely decide whether other countries will buy Britain's gas-cooled natural-uranium reactors or liquid-cooled enriched-uranium plants, which the U.S. is anxious to export...
...Though new knowledge is added in revised editions, it is merely tacked onto basic material that is still out of date. The books overemphasize practical applications, concentrate on macrophysics, such as Archimedes' principle, to the neglect of microphysics, which has become all-important with increased knowledge of the atom. By fall, Zacharias hopes to have ready the first part of an experimental textbook that will concentrate on basic laws and include the major discoveries of the last few years. For especially interested students, Laura Fermi, widow of the Nobel Prizewinner, is editing a series of paperback monographs on everything...
...country of its size, Hungary has an extraordinary record for providing the U.S. with first-rank scientist immigrants. Leo Szilard (key atom-bomb physicist), Edward Teller ("Father of the H-bomb") and the late great Mathematician John von Neumann (an Atomic Energy commissioner) were all Hungarian-born. So when refugees began streaming out of rebellious Hungary last year, the National Academy of Sciences set up an office at Camp Kilmer, N.J. and sent an expeditionary force to Austria to help educated Hungarians find jobs...
