Last week Belgium was added to the countries that considered the Santa Maria's load a hot potato. The freighter headed south, supposedly bound for Arabia and China. But the shippers had been busy. The Santa Maria turned about, met a Belgian barge on the high seas, unloaded TNT and incendiary bombs and then, with only a few innocent planes and machine guns, once more sailed up the Thames and put in at East London's Silvertown.

...will do anything expensive crystals will, can be inexpensively manufactured in any size. Actual cost figures will probably not be available until large-scale equipment is set up. Developed by Physicist Edwin H. Land, senior partner of an independent Boston laboratory, Polaroid's synthetic organic crystals are bound in a plastic film of cellulose acetate. The tiny crystals are pulled into parallel alignment by stretching the film. The material polarizes about 99.9% of the transmitted light. Other uses for Physicist Land's discovery: three-dimensional (stereoscopic) movies in color;- sunglasses which filter out glare without discoloring the view...

Robert Frost should be persona grata to two opposing parties: Yankees who never touch poetry and poetry-bibbers who shy at Yankees. For Robert Frost has a foot in both camps. New Englanders who pride themselves on their conservative shrewdness and rock-bound individualism think they recognize him as one of themselves; and poets know he is a poet. His prosiest lines are often lifted into verse by some piece of sly wit or canny wisdom, and at its best his poetry is as strong and simple as his Vermont landscape...
