...exciting new parlor game among physicists is speculating about antimatter in bulk. The earth contains no antimatter because matter and antimatter destroy each other as soon as they meet. Antiparticles are now being created in the laboratory, but the trick of actually building antiatoms is likely to take a long time (TIME, April 21). Meanwhile, those who cherish the laws of symmetry are considering the possibility of distant anti-galaxies in space. Such weird other worlds, balancing galaxies of ordinary matter in the universe, may well exist...
...month vacation of "fishing and unwinding." While Fitz is away, the P-D plans to rerun some of his old cartoons and tap the syndicated work of the Washington Post and Times Herald's Herblock, who has been carried every Saturday for the past few years. But the bulk of the daily cartoons will be handled by a newcomer: baby-faced Bill Mauldin, 36, whose Willie-and-Joe cartoons of bearded, bone-weary G.I.s during World War II won a Pulitzer Prize...
Child in a Hurry. John Joseph Gunther was born Aug. 3, 1901, in North Side Chicago. From his father, Eugene Mc-Clellan Gunther, a convivial drifter, he inherited big-boned bulk and heroic alcoholic capacity.

This has not paid off too well, the anonymous authors of the plan conceded. Prolonged, drug-induced sleep "cannot be used as a universal therapeutic measure," partly because sometimes the cure is worse than the disease-it causes fever or anemia...
Ireland aims to lure mostly middling-sized, 50 to 500 man plants that would not compete with existing Irish industries, e.g., new plants for chemicals, tools, toys, plywood products. Its yearly goal is to attract $56 million in new industrial investment, create 15,000 jobs. For the bulk of this, Ireland looks to the U.S. Said Booster McCormack in his Manhattan office: "Any American businessman who is interested in Ireland has only to call me, from any part of the country, and I will come to see him in 24 hours...
