Waiting. "Some six years ago . . . Winston Churchill prophesied: 'Nothing stands between Europe today and complete subjugation to Communist tyranny but the atomic bomb in American possession. The question is asked, what will happen when they [the Russians] get the atomic bomb themselves and have accumulated a large store? You can judge yourselves what will happen then by what is happening now. If these things are done in the green wood, what will be done in the dry? If they can continue month after month disturbing and tormenting the world . . . what will they do when they themselves have large quantities...

Last week, at Rutgers University, AECommissioner Joseph Campbell reported on some new uses of radioactive isotopes in U.S. industry. Items...
...Angeles' independent KTLA, the first station to televise an atomic-bomb explosion (TIME, May 5, 1952), last week unveiled what may turn out to be a fissionable little package for TV's idea-starved programmers. The show is nothing more than good old Bingo, dressed up in a new name-Marco-and given a dog-food manufacturer (Thoro-Fed) for a sponsor instead of the Ladies' Aid Society. But it has one great advantage over most audience-participation shows: every home viewer can compete every week...
