When Einstein announced his unified field theory 3½ years ago (TIME, Jan. 2, 1950), he asked his colleagues to check its validity. The theory attempted to connect the electromagnetic and the gravitational properties of the universe, which appear to follow separate sets of laws. To show that they are connected would complete the revolution in physics that began with the electromagnetic field theory of James Clerk Maxwell in the late 19th century. A single set of laws would be shown to rule and to unify the physical universe...
...begins with the bad news that a patrolman has been shot the night before while trying to stop a car heist. Then a stool pigeon tells him that a well-known hood is back in town to pull a bank job. Piece by piece, evidence comes in to connect the hood with the heist. By 9 a.m. the bank in question is staked out with plain clothesmen. At 1 p.m. the visiting hood and his gang strike, as expected. After a savage gun battle, two thugs get away-without the loot. By 5 p.m. the captain has cracked two witnesses...

Inside, Noyes put a central core with heating plant, bathroom, kitchenette and storage closet, divided the remaining space into a roomy living-dining area on one side, two bedrooms on the other. For large families, says Noyes, "you can just blow another bubble and connect it with a breezeway...
Peaceful Salons. Rodzinski dickered with Leeds, and last March Florence got busy. The festival commissioned ten sets, five of them elaborate"; and an Italian translation. Rodzinski tricked up musical interludes to connect a series of five short scenes in Act I. The countryside was scoured for singers willing to tackle an unfamiliar score. Total cost: close to $400,000. When Milan's La Scala (and the Soviet Embassy) protested, the Florentines retorted that Russia does not adhere to the International Copyright Convention-and kept on working...
...frequently defied the rule; after all, Michelangelo was said to favor a figure "pyramidal, serpentine, and multiplied by one, two, and three," which is at least as peculiar as 2.66 to 1. Yet only by a master stroke of organization was Leonardo da Vinci able, in The Annunciation, to connect in one esthetic whole a frame that is only slightly more extreme than Zanuck's. But Zanuck of course has a bigger budget. One moviemaker summed up the problem this way: "Marilyn Monroe will have to lie down before the audience can get a good look...
