...from African deserts, where they maintain their winter breeding reservoirs. Another is that they breed somewhere along the way, so that only later generations ever reach England. In last week's Nature, Geneticist H.B.D. Kettlewell of Oxford offered strong proof for the direct-from-Africa theory-using an atom bomb explosion to trace the flight of the gentle moth...
...most pervasive and mysterious phenomena in the universe is magnetism. As the scientist knows it, magnetism is the invisible pull that surrounds magnets, electric currents and even the electrons that circle the heart of the atom. Physicists do not wholly understand it, but they use it constantly. All the hundreds of thousands of electrical devices in the modern world have fields of magnetic force coursing through them. Any discovery that promises stronger or better controlled magnetism is immensely important to both practical industry and theoretical science. Such a discovery has just been made: four Bell Telephone Laboratories scientists* have found...
...succeeded in dividing between "imperialist West" and "peace-loving East." Year after year, the Red regime chipped away at Protestant prerogatives, persecuted pastors, and drove thousands of others into flight to the West. They played on pacifist tendencies wherever they showed themselves and vilified outspoken anti-Communists as atom-happy militarists...
...Inward Eye. Politically, Schirmbeck is an annoying cafe neutralist; he indulges himself in an overcrude lampoon of U.S. Physicist Edward Teller, and solemnly puts forth the preposterous view that Atom Spies "Arthur and Edith Rosenbluth" were martyrs in the cause of freedom of information. But the author's principal concern is examined exhaustively and well: If the eye of science offends, should it be plucked out? The heroic Prince de Bary refuses to build war brains for the OSI, and retires to a life of contemplation. Subtly enough that the truth does not cloy, Schirmbeck answers his own question...
...paneled Bow Street Magistrates' Court had seen nothing like it since the case of Atom Spy Klaus Fuchs in 1950. Up before Magistrate K.J.P. Barraclough last week was an international spy quintet that, the prosecution charged, was caught attempting to pass on to "a potential enemy ... a picture of our current antisubmarine effort and research," as well as details of Britain's first nuclear submarine, the Dreadnought, which is fitted with a U.S.-designed reactor power plant...
