Once the tournament got started, the flame-red jerseys of Communist Chinese flared against the green of Australians and Germans, the orange of Portugal, brown of Korea. Cobalt from South Vietnam clashed with ten other shades of blue from ten assorted countries. As if to keep everyone happy, there were almost as many prizes as there were colors on the floor: the Swaythling Cup for the men's team champs, the Corbillon Cup for the ladies' team champs, the St. Bride Vase for the men's singles, the Gasper-Geist Cup for ladies' singles, the Pope...
Uncharacteristically reticent, Artist Diego Rivera, 69, returned home to Mexico City after six months in Moscow, where he got radioactive cobalt treatment for skin cancer.

The U.S.S.R. struck Diego Rivera as little short of paradise. Said he: "I am very happy to have been sick here...
...gauge to check cigarette quality, and at least 350 companies use radioisotopes to look for flaws in welded joints and metal castings. By investing $1,000,000 yearly in radioisotopes, U.S. industry is saving $100 million yearly in production costs. Production managers have discovered that $100 worth of radioactive cobalt-60 will do the work of $20,000 worth of radium. By 1980 atomic radiation may also provide 10% of U.S. industry's "process heat," e.g., to refine ore into metal, make glass, crack...
