While plain civilians watched with fascinated concern, Army and Navy men got ready to explode the fourth atomic bomb. If the thing acted in the pattern of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they had picked a good, safe spot-Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands, over 4,000 mi. from the U.S. shore. Wildlife lovers were disturbed. But Hanson Baldwin pointed out in the New York Times: "Great numbers of fish and birds will be killed . . . but they will die that man may live...
Eager anthropologists have snatched some from the flames and last week a few of them were on display in Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art. For its big midwinter show, the Museum-which often baffles outlanders by its cultist concern with the ultramodern descendants of Dada-put on an excellent exhibition which may baffle them more: 400 strange South Sea objects ranging from hand-painted skulls and intricately carved canoes to an immense stone head...
...when Britain's Ernie Bevin rose ponderously from his se.at near Vishinsky.

Too few documentaries have straight theatrical vitality; and too few of those which do have it are exhibited widely enough to develop a reliable mass audience. Peace has left high & dry a greatly expanded, war-trained personnel...
Unpredictable Andrew Jackson Higgins was going back into the boat-building business. Apparently he had forgotten all about his determination to shut up shop because of labor difficulties in New Orleans (TIME, Nov. 19). Last week Higgins announced the formation of a new concern, Higgins, Inc., which he hopes to finance by selling $10,000,000 in stock to the public...
