Such a reporter is TIME'S Science Editor Jonathan Norton Leonard (TIME, April 16, 1951). Aside from reading some 50 scientific journals each month, plus following an endless flow of reports and pamphlets, Leonard is constantly packing his bag, catching a train or plane to go to the source of a particular story for interviews and firsthand observation. These trips may range from a short visit to The Bronx Zoo (to spy on the activities of a surly platypus) to a 600-m.p.h. night flight in a radar-guided F94 to tell the story of the jet interceptors guarding...
...foreign cameras was imported into the U.S. last year). He is particularly taken with such fairly new products as baby flashbulbs, easily portable strobe lights, and stereoscopic cameras.

In three years, 600,000 homes have been destroyed; because of a high birth rate and the influx of tens of thousands of refugees, 900,000 new or rebuilt houses are needed. Coal production is down 50% from prewar. Grain output, the core of Korea's economy, is off from 3,500,000 tons...
...chunks hacked from a live eel. But the chunks keep squirming, and at the end they have almost grown together again. Author Nimier's hussars are a rough, vulgar, boisterous lot with little in common except being French and in the same outfit. Politically, they are a mixed bag of Communists, Gaullists, Petainists and what not; some of them hate each other more than they hate the enemy.
