...March 22 issue, or weren't all the returns in when you went to press? You make no mention of who won the other $700 prize given by the National Academy of Design, which went to Sidney Laufman of New York for the best landscape by an American born painter...
...negative protons combined with positrons. The existence of positive-negative electron mates, said he, "suggests, on grounds of symmetry, that a negative proton might be expected to exist." Anderson had also declared himself for this particle; Gamow of Russia thought it might help to explain artificial radioactivity.

He had tantrums, enjoyed working himself into hysterics over fancied disasters. As a boy he had a good voice, occasionally sang anthems in church: "but I hated doing this because the lack of applause depressed me." At 10 he played his first professional part, in an all-children cast, and knew why he had been born. From then on it was simply a question of finding better and better parts, of having...
