...President's actions in lessening the tensions and hatreds built up around the integration controversy have so far been most often lip-service. Presented with numerous opportunities to state a position designed to cool the passions of the parties involved in the dispute, he has contented himself with well-intentioned platitudes from Washington. His prestige and moral authority could, if brought to bear in the South itself, bring a movement toward many of the positive goals he has espoused...
Another Chinese physicist at Columbia, Associate Professor Chien-Shiung Wu, went to Washington. Working with a topflight team at the National Bureau of Standards, she arranged an elaborate deepfreeze apparatus to cool radioactive cobalt 60 to 0.01° above absolute zero ( - 273.1° C.). The cobalt nuclei are known to be spinning, and they continue to spin in the deepfreeze, but their random "thermal" motions are reduced almost to nothing by the extreme cold. This accomplished. Dr. Wu and her helpers applied a powerful magnetic field that pointed the cobalt nuclei in one direction as if they were tiny magnets...
...Philadelphia, who served as round-the-world navigator on his father's schooner and as a lieutenant commander in World War II, Baker still finds that every cover story requires a different trim of the sails.

More enthusiastically than ever, the critics applauded her lithe, leggy build, her cool, fluid movements, which are reminiscent of the early Fonteyn's. Although the restrictions of Pagodas' choreography gave the critics less to rave about last week, Beriosova displayed the classic arch-of-back and lift-of-leg passages that have moved her audiences in the past. There is still...
