...loyal readers of British spy fiction, it seems almost incredible that the cold-eyed watchdogs of counterintelligence in Whitehall could let H.M.G.'s closest secrets slip into the hands of the enemy. Yet Atom Scientist Klaus Fuchs got away with it, and so did Donald Maclean and Guy Burgess of the Foreign Office, not to mention the more recent indiscretions of Admiralty Clerk, William Vassall...
...HOPE PRESENTS THE CHRYSLER THEATER (NBC, 8:30-9:30 p.m.). George C. Scott plays a World War II sub captain in a dilemmatic moment: Japanese ships are cross-haired in his periscope as the atom bomb is dropped on Hiroshima. To fire torpedoes, or not to fire...
...shop in the U.S., but it is difficult to see what he could peddle. Barney Rosset, publisher of Grove Press and in a sense the American Girodias, is way ahead of him. Says Rosset hopefully: "Who knows if the limits have been reached? Just because the scientists split the atom, did they sit back and say, 'Well, that's it'?" The pioneering publisher could always push the limits a little farther by trying the notorious Story of O. or The Debauched Hospodar. But one of these days even Rosset may run out of material...
Among others, Joe Palooka has survived 34 years as a world heavyweight boxing champion with nary a scar to show for it on his boyish face. Buck Rogers, the spaceman who confronted atom bombs as early as 1939, no longer plies the interplanetary routes. But Flash Gordon still zips through space at supersonic speed on the trail of highflying gangsters, while Prince Valiant moves at a snail's pace through meticulously drawn medieval sagas. And the whole idiom has been parodied by Li'I Abner, in which a collection of bulbous-nosed, ham-handed hillbillies makes monkeys...
...talk turned to molybdenum, which is not the hardest metal known to man but has the advantage of not even beginning to melt at temperatures up to 4,700°F. Eventually the atom experts decided to put their drilling theories to a test; they constructed a 2-in. cylindrical drill bit of molybdenum, and to their surprise their very first demonstration was a success. With a 5-kw. generator, they heated the face of the bit to 2,190°F, then forced it down against a specimen of hard basalt rock. Like a hot pick thrusting through...
