...consistent has been the U.S. attitude of generosity on the peaceful atom since World War II that foreign policy critics rarely think to take it into account in assessing U.S. world position. Beginning with the Baruch Plan (sabotaged by the Russians), the U.S. has again and again offered to make the peaceful atom available to other qualified nations on almost any reasonable basis. Last week President Eisenhower took one more unprecedented step in the same direction by authorizing the release of 88,000 Ibs. of uranium 235 for long-range power development and research in the U.S. and abroad...
Other significant discoveries include a method of long-distance telecasting by which microwaves are bounced against the ionosphere and reflected, extending the range of transmission. Discoveries about the structure of the atom made with M.I.T.'s cyclotron and synchrotron have important applications in medical and X-ray research...
Though his name is Varnoff and he wears the traditional clothes, Varnoff is a new kind of monster-maker. He makes his supermen with "the atom elements." His story also seems influenced by the development of Psychotherapy ("Here in this forsaken jungle hell I have come to prove myself alright."), though it is not known whether there was an analyst for this swamp...
...change began during World War II. With its long record of achievement in the natural sciences, Cambridge found itself taking on every sort of wartime research project that the government and industry wanted. Peace brought no relief. The atom and the cold war made even heavier demands on technical and scientific research. Alongside Cambridge's 21 tradition-bound colleges, new shiny laboratories sprang up, and an army of efficient, white-coated researchers invaded the ancient city. Most of them did not seem to care one whit for college traditions. Of the ten new departments founded since the war, seven...
...machine will create particles of a higher energy than was ever before possible," Harvey Brooks, Gordon McKay Professor of Applied Physics, explained. This will enable scientists to observe high-energy phenomena, valuable in determining the nature of the atom, he added...
