...That was a time of troubles in the electrical world, when the sunspots' pesky particles disrupted communications for entire days. Then the cycle turned downward again. In the fall of 1950, the sun showed an almost spotless face for the first time in six years. The bottom of the cycle will be reached in 1954. So, says Dr. Gartlein, the U.S. and its friends (who are more electrical-minded than the Reds) will have the sun's help in war for at least the next three years...
...modern world (TIME, Nov. 7, 1949). This time, accompanied by his bride of five days, Anthropologist Fairservis revisited the same mysterious area of southwest Afghanistan. Near the Bolan Pass, the expedition, came across its first big find: 36 sites which yielded pottery of a hitherto unknown type. On the bottom of many of the pieces were mysterious little signs, some 30 different ones, that look as if they might be the beginnings of an alphabet.

It sent the Tobey report to the Justice Department to see if there was any ground for legal action against B. & O. and former RFC officials...
Rarely have two teams looked worse than Philadelphia and St. Louis. Put together, they would still be at the bottom. Ferris Fain, the Athletics' first baseman, is leading the league in batting, and Ned Garver has won seven of the Browns' 13 victories. Eddie Joost and Gus Zernial of the A's and Joe Coleman of the Browns are hitting well. The rest are best forgotten. Bankruptey is more probable than sixth place for either of these two--already over, 15 games behind...
