...photograph of Tab in a football suit, sniffs at the gaudy ties of Lilli's current husband, Gary Merrill, and even changes the weight regulator on the man's Exercycle. What's worse, charming rakehell that he is (though never as arch, mocking or sphinxlike as Cyril Ritchard was onstage), he tries to freeze Tab out and lure his daughter away with promised trips to Venice, Positano and the Aegean Isle where Rupert Brooke is buried. At one painful moment, father and daughter, after a gay, French-talking night on the town, even do the balcony scene...
...Catholic); Physiologist Sir John Carew Eccles, 58, Australia (Roman Catholic); Geneticist Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher, 71, England (Church of England); Chemist Giordano Giacomello, 71, Italy (Roman Catholic); Victor Francis Hess, 77, Austrian-born physicist who taught (1938-51) at New York's Fordham University (Roman Catholic); Chemist Sir Cyril Norman Hinshelwood, 63, England (Church of England); Domenico Marotta, 74, director of the Superior Institute of Health, Rome (Roman Catholic). There are no Jews because, according to Academy Chancellor Pietro Salriucci, "there are just not enough eminent Jewish scientists...
...supercool atom smasher, operating at temperatures close to absolute zero (-460° F.), may be smaller and cheaper to build, and could operate on far less electrical power than conventional electromagnetic accelerators, said Midwestern Universities Research Association Physicist Dr. Cyril D. Curtis. By using such superconductive materials as niobium-tin alloy (TIME, March 3) instead of huge iron magnets, atom smashers now 1,200 ft. in diameter might be reduced to less than 550 ft., and construction and operation costs could be cut by 35%. Curtis' projection was underscored at the same A.P.S. session when Brookhaven National Laboratory...
...Cyril Adams and his colleagues at Cambridge University's Animal Research Center have long been harvesting ova from hormone-treated highbred ewes, fertilizing them with sperm from highbred rams and planting them in the wombs of lowbred ewes. This is a handy way to multiply valuable animal strains far faster than nature can do the same job, but when Dr. Adams wanted to improve the breed of South African sheep by shipping the fertilized ova to Natal, he ran into difficulty. They cannot be shipped frozen, and there was no mechanical device that would keep them alive...
...characters favor a modern idiom, so that when not dittying "Whoever is chaste has got to be chased," they talk of sponsors, top brass, secret weapons, summit meetings and population explosions. Against all this, the evening offers Jan ice Rule as a Diana down in Athens from Olympus, Cyril Ritchard as a Pluto up from Hades, attractive William and Jean Eckart sets. The musical also has at least one good Dania Krupska ballet, and some of Offenbach's best and best-known tunes...
