Harvard's Quentin M. Geiman and Ralph W. McKee said that they now know, pretty well, what foods the monkey parasite thrives on-para-aminobenzoic acid (a B complex vitamin), glycerol sodium acetate, certain other vitamins and amino acids. They have also been able to test the effect of antimalarial drugs...
Granting, as one must, that there are two valid sides to this very complex argument, it serves no useful purpose to far the Crimson with a taint it does not deserve, nor to assume the utter indefensibility of a position merely because one does not happen to endorse it. Barry Golomb...
...German tank but a 51-foot great-grandchild of the humble adding machine, The International Business Machines Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator. This shiny mathematical genius, composed of 765,299 parts and 530 miles of wire, has already been at work for the Navy for two years on complex problems of ship construction and ordnance in the basement of Cruft Laboratory...
What is promised from this new science is still nebulous though the inherent possibilities have excited the imaginations of scientists throughout the world. Weather prediction, for which tremendous complex formulae already exist, may be reduced to an exact process instead of the present hit and miss system; economists and anthropologists have reams of statistical data which may with mechanical aid be put to practical use; engineers, particularly aeronautical and metallurgical, may be able to come out of the laborious testing laboratory and try their designs quickly and inexpensively through machine aided mathematics. Automatic computation cuts horizontally across all fields...
...paralleled TIME'S own effort to bring world news to its readers.* No forum can reflect every color of thought on every nation's problems and policies; nor can it give every shade of U.S. opinion. (The Cleveland Institute, for instance, omits specific treatment of such important, complex problems as Palestine and India.) The program...
