...chemist in his freshman year at the University of California at Berkeley, he loaded up with brain-crushing courses (chemistry, physics, calculus, German, Chinese, English), worked 30 hours a week in the university library, took his classmates for "$20 or $30 a month" playing bridge, and kept a big bag of dried apricots beside his dormitory bed. That spring, embittered by his failure to capture the chemistry department's sole scholarship, Keys signed on as an oiler aboard the President Wilson, bound for China, and quickly dispensed with nutritional niceties. "The diet was mainly alcohol," he says...
...early riser (6:45 in winter, 5:30 in summer), Dr. Keys eats a leisurely breakfast-half a grapefruit, dry cereal with skim milk, unbuttered toast, jam and coffee. Then, brown paper lunch bag on the seat beside him, he drives to work in a two-toned Karmann-Ghia. Although lunch is slim-a sardine sandwich, an olive, a cooky and a glass of skim milk-Keys eats with deliberate slowness. "I don't like to insult food," he says.

...Bag. "The big hurdle for any nation is to get weapons-grade nuclear material," said Gore. "Once that is done, either as the product or byproduct of a nuclear plant, the nation has acquired a nuclear capability and can set off explosions." For the moment, plutonium is expensive and hard to make. But uranium is now a glut on world markets; with the expected development of a new, cheap German method of getting fissionable material by centrifuge (TIME, Oct. 24), the cost of a nuclear blast can be scaled down to the poor nation's level. Says Physicist Herman...
...Thomas G. Lanphier Jr., 45, onetime vice president of General Dynamics' Convair Division, was named president of Fairbanks, Morse & Co., a subsidiary of the Fairbanks Whitney Corp. A World War II fighter pilot (his bag: 15 Japanese aircraft, including one bearing Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto), Lanphier joined Convair in 1954, became key man in long-range planning for Convair's Atlas missile program. But his blunt criticism of the Administration's defense effort and sharp attacks on rival missilemakers provoked General Dynamics Chairman Frank Pace to ease him out. On his own, Lanphier stumped the country, pleading...
