...youngster from Azerbaijan was publishing respected scientific papers. As he developed into one of the Soviet Union's leading scientists, he became an expert in many of the far-ranging fields of physics. If he resented the fact that he was rarely trusted to go abroad unchaperoned to collect the numerous awards he won from admiring Western colleagues, he gave no indication. He went right on working, and last week he got his biggest prize yet. For his intricate theories that give man new insight into the strange behavior of matter at extremely low temperatures, Lev Landau...
...Even the Poles have been wallowing in God's Little Acre and Tobacco Road" said Novelist Erskine Caldwell, 58, on his way to tour Warsaw and collect some 100,000 zlotys (about $4,200) in royalties, which he must spend in Poland.

"When sailors are flogged," one piously testified, "it is always done out of hearing of the Africans so as not to disturb them." What shocked Britons almost as much...
...next two months, some 1,400 teen-age boys and their parents all over the U.S. will tremulously collect the credentials-IQ scores, grades, test results, recommendations, interviews-needed to apply for admission to what they are sure is the nation's best prep school: Massachusetts' Andover. Many applications will come from Eastern boys with good primary education and some wealth and social standing. But not all. Even now, Andover alumni are searching slums and back-country towns for bright boys who may have little money and position but who "need" Andover. Recruiters are grilling newspaper circulation managers...
