Synthesis. Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington is irked by such caution, says it reminds him of the clergyman who wrote his wife: "I shall be home (God willing) on Friday, and in any case by Saturday." By mathematical means Sir Arthur has arrived at a value for lambda, the cosmical constant of repulsion which scatters the universe, and his lambda value would have the nebulae receding at even greater speeds than the observed velocities. This work incidentally enabled him to compute the total number of protons and electrons in the universe: 10 79 (ten followed by 78 zeros...
Authors Engelbrecht & Hanighen write with deliberate caution, ring in no rhetoric, rely on the weight of their documented evidence. Author Seldes' barrage of accusations covers more ground but cumbers his case in a mass of minor allegations. After listening to their double indictment of the international armament ring, the jury of readers will need little deliberation before bringing in a verdict of guilty...
...student should find this course one of the more pleasant ways of fulfilling his science requirement while those taking mathematical training will find the course of average difficulty. The work will be facilitated next year by the further development of the Oak Ridge Observatory. The only word of caution is that if Professor Bok advises you not to take notes on his quite informal lectures, don't follow his advice--the notes will be useful. Upon completion of the course one has a workable layman's knowledge that may be used to advantage when taking other science courses or when...
...would be important news. For a year and a half, the most important news that Editor Smith made was criticism of the Roosevelt Administration. In the first issue of the New Outlook, he called the Forgotten Man a myth (TIME, Oct. 10, 1932). In May last year he urged caution about inflation. In June, he could not understand how NRA would work. In September, he criticized Postmaster General Farley's distribution of patronage. In October, the New Outlook released his open letter to the New York State Chamber of Commerce in which he said: "I am for gold dollars...
...dearth of news about winners on this year's Grand National by announcing that the Post Office would follow a ''liberal policy'' in construing the statute about lottery information. That let down the bars. Even the New York Sun forgot its hidebound caution long enough to print the lists of U. S. ticket holders in the Irish Hospital Sweepstakes. Last week, when Miss Paget's Golden Miller won the Grand National at Aintree, U. S. newspaper readers once more enjoyed in full the vicarious pleasure of seeing someone else win a lot of money...
