...material for steel (1,500,000 Ibs. at $10 a Ib. was shipped in 1955). But in 1948, with the start of the atomic power plant program, the AEC found it needed almost pure zirconium. Since it does not become radioactive, it is an ideal construction material for light, compact, thermal-type reactors such as those on the submarines Nautilus and Sea Wolf. A Bureau of Mines pilot plant and, later, Carborundum Co. developed processes to refine 99.5% pure zirconium, gradually brought the price down to $14 a Ib. on total production of 300,000 Ibs. annually...
TIME is neat, compact and well-written. But I think it dishonest of TIME to overplay modern art, and show such senile distortionalists and juvenile paint slingers. I do not question the right of any individual to be an expressionist, distortionalist or eggbeater-ist-to trickle, sling or spray paint. If these people find happiness, well and good. There may be a revolution in the art world, but there are others who rebel against being cultured, and wish to remain uncouth and unartistic...
...month that Artur Rubinstein first played in Carnegie Hall (a mere coincidence, he insists-"I hate anniversaries"). In that half century he has grown from a prodigy to a musical playboy to a great artist with the broadest popular following of any front-rank musician in the world. The compact dignity of his entrances, his ramrod back and frizzled grey crown, his highhanded hammering of the keyboard are known and loved wherever there are pianos...
...first glance, the Photon machine looke like a compact IBM-type computing machine. It has only three major components: a standard Underwood electric typewriter, a telephone relay system, and a photographing unit. Its basic difference from the conventional method of hot-metal type-setting are two. The keyboard of a typecaster is big and complex. Photon uses the keyboard of a standard electric typewriter. And secondly, the end product is different. The old machine casts individual lines of type. Photon, on the other hand, actually sets no type. It simply reproduces, on film, type in any style and size...
Seven years ago, under the urgency of fear, and with the leadership of the U.S., twelve nations of Europe and America made solemn compact, one with another, that an attack upon any one of them was an attack upon all. Under the urgency of fear they pledged to unite their forces and resources on the continent of Europe under a single command. Under the urgency of fear NATO's forces grew to become the most powerful peacetime alliance of free powers in the world's history...
