Juggler Technique. Element 102 disintegrated so fast that a major problem was to prove that it had been created at all. The scientists developed a technique that would have done credit to a team of Japanese jugglers. After the curium had been bombarded for about 20 minutes, the Swedes shut down the cyclotron. As the concrete shield opened, a group of scientists, wearing gloves and dust masks against radioactivity, dashed into the cyclotron chamber. One snatched the target from the machine, another took it apart and passed it to a third, who extracted the catcher foil. The fastest runner, generally...
...Credit is due H. Henry Franck's interpretation of the town crier and Paul Fithian's performance as the gullible schoolmaster. M. Mousquet is only sketchily defined by Jack McGrail, and the succession of rural bumpkins who fall for Knock's prescriptions emerge from the clinic like so many neatly packaged sandwiches from an automat...
Sylvester Campbell and George Liker are the policemen as well as the auxiliary dancers that appear periodically. As was the case with last week's play, the set change is effected as part of a ballet. (Actually, the credit goes to the New York production of Thieves' Carnival, from which this idea was later borrowed for Volpone in New York and here.) Liker dances well indeed, though he seems a bit heavy...
Even the new inflation might have been checked, said Humphrey, if the Federal Reserve Board had earlier tightened credit more drastically, thus pinched off plant expansion and full employment. But he also agreed with the growing body of economists who think that the cost of doing this might be greater than the price of bearing inflation for a while, since the new inflation is a natural result of the economy's continuing prosperity. They feel that severe cures would hurt even more than the malady itself. Says Harvard Economist Sumner Slichter, who predicts a controlled inflation...
...Secretary Humphrey has failed to make much headway toward one of his primary goals in 1953; this was to stretch out and stabilize the debt by transferring much of it from short-term into long-term securities. Not only would such a transfer help combat inflation by sopping up credit, it would also make the Treasury's debt management job much simpler by cutting down on refinancing operations...
