...hour-long series spotlighting big-time performers. Henry Saloman's Project 20 will do The Innocent Years (1900-14) and Back in the Thirties; James Michener will produce a one-shot on Southeast Asia, and a new series called Wisdom will present filmed portraits of Dr. Vannevar Bush, Jacques Maritain, Igor Stravinsky, Pablo Picasso and David Ben-Gurion. Wide Wide World returns Sundays to alternate with Omnibus, which promises to bring back Joseph Welch, Leonard Bernstein, and "some bright new faces." Crooner Eddie Fisher will team up with George Gobel in a new variety series, Giselle MacKenzie gets...
...Sponsored by the National Science Foundation, the M.I.T. program is the most ambitious ever undertaken to modernize high-school physical science courses. Its steering committee includes such names as Nobel Prizewinners Edward Purcell and I. I. (for Isidor Isaac) Rabi, M.I.T.'s President James Killian, Atomic Scientist Vannevar Bush and Moviemaker Frank Capra; its working staff already numbers more than 100. Under Director Jerrold Zacharias, head of M.I.T.'s nuclear science laboratory, the staff will work at least five years on the project, after that may turn its attention to high-school chemistry...

Dr. Ewart Clausen, a famed Norwegian scientist, has renounced the world for his bush clinic at Luala, in French Equatorial Africa, and has become "a secular saint in the humanist calendar." From the far corners of the earth pilgrims come to sit at his feet; he proffers a bag of sticky bull's-eyes, advice, and the magic of his presence...
...Bush Leagues & Bonuses. All over the country, college coaches echo Bibb's caustic comments. Things were bad enough when the major leagues paid polite lip service to their own rule forbidding dickering with collegians between sophomore year and graduation. But even that rule has been rescinded. Some 35% of the players on today's big-league clubs started their careers on college campuses. Some, like the Chicago Cubs' Moe Drabowsky (Trinity College), skipped the minors and started in the big time. Others, like Milwaukee's Pitcher Gene Conley (Washington State), St. Louis' Shortstop Alvin Dark...
