Teller did not tell in detail how this could be done, but he gave a long chain of complex equations showing how energy is released in reacting gases (deuterium or tritium), and how energy escapes from the system. He gave a few general hints about how the lines of magnetic force affect and confine the moving ions. He did not sound lightly confident; repeatedly, he pointed to serious difficulties...
...Lewis rumbled over the heads of 5,000 listeners and bounced sonorously back from the green mountainsides. In a chill drizzle, the United Mine Workers' boss warmly hailed a "new era of peace" that had brought forth one of the most impressive social landmarks in U.S. industry: a chain of ten hospitals in three states, built and operated by the U.M.W.'s welfare and retirement fund. As Lewis dedicated the chain to "those who suffered and died before us," patients and doctors watched intently from the northernmost hospital of the $26 million network, a five-story, glass-walled...
Medically and architecturally, the U.M.W. hospitals in West Virginia, Virginia, and Kentucky are among the most advanced to be found anywhere in the U.S. Built for the low cost of $16,000 per bed, the hospitals were designed for maximum efficiency, minimum operating cost. Each "chain-store" hospital is laid out around a central service core, from which food and drugs move by assembly belt and dumb-waiter to dispatch stations on every floor. A centralized administration and service center at Williamson, W. Va. will keep the books and do the housekeeping, e.g., maintenance, filling of prescriptions, laundry...
...ballet seems as good as many (and rather better than some) in the standard repertory. Indeed, M-G-M apparently thought it was too good for the general public. Kelly's next effort, a terpsy-turvy take-off on Schnitzler's La Ronde-in which a daisy chain of lovers passes a bracelet (it was syphilis in the original) from one to another until it gets back where it started from-is mostly not much better than the brothel sequence in any other Technicolor musical. The third offering is a parody of Scheherazade, in which Kelly...
...will also build a $24 million Detroit hotel with 1,500 rooms and 50 penthouses, operate it for a fee on a 25-year lease for an investment group. Hilton says he has already cleared his plans with the U.S. Justice Department, whose trustbusters (TIME, Feb. 20) forced the chain to sell Washington's Mayflower, St. Louis' Jefferson and New York's Roosevelt hotels. Within a year, Hilton will open other new hotels in Mexico City, Acapulco, Havana, Cairo and Montreal...
