From Grove to Atom. Roy Collins, a middle-of-the-road Democrat who presides over this most active and restless of states, is one of the most interesting and effective governors in the U.S. today. He has his roots deep in the restful Old South.

According to ideas prevailing when Dr. Lamb started work shortly after World War II, the hydrogen atom could exist in two "states," both with the same energy. Dr. Lamb was skilled in the use of microwaves, which have the property of adding small amounts of energy to atoms they hit. He shot microwaves through one "state" of hydrogen and turned it into the other "state." Since energy was absorbed in this transition, he had proved that the two states of hydrogen did not contain the same amount of energy. The difference was small but extremely important from the point...
