Atomic Energy Executive Vasily Emelyanov, 58, Russian-born, German-trained, English-speaking metallurgist, who developed cast tank turret production in World War II, emerged in 1955 as one of the leading U.S.S.R. atomic energy administrators, made headlines at last year's atoms-for-peace conference at Geneva by complaining that the U.S. meant to blast off H-bombs in the guise of atoms for peace; Minister of Higher and Middle Specialized Education Vyacheslav P. Elyutin, 52, a metallurgist, moved on to take over the organization of higher education in the U.S.S.R., says: "Science is the discipline of the 20th...

Cast in bronze, the results are more invigorating than inspiring, but they can help anyone to see better into the physical world...
...stem from Spanish ironwork by way of Gonzalez, but they have a peculiarly American urgency and, so to speak, a questioning emptiness. Smith is the idol of young American sculptor-welders, who find that they can follow his lead on a large scale without too great expense (a big cast-bronze monument may cost $50,000 to erect; a welded steel one as little as $500). Smith stays more inventive than any of his imitators...
