Journalists last month suddenly dragged a rather unwilling physicist out of secluded Lyman Laboratory into the public's view. Self-effacing Edward M. Purcell (as well as Stanford's Felix Bloch) had won the 1952 Nobel Prize in Physics and this was part of his reward.

...prizes will be presented by Guatsav Adolph VI, king of Sweden, in ceremonies at Stockholm Wednesday. Purcell shares this year's prize in physics with Stanford's Felix Bloch. Both simultaneously developed methods for measuring magnetic forces in atomic nuclei...

Kimmel, at Pearl Harbor; General Frank M. Andrews, who dropped from major general to a colonelcy after a four-year tour of staff duty at Air Force headquarters in 1939, stayed on, and became a lieutenant general in 1941, two years before his death in a plane crash...
