...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...
...novel is not merely a sentimental binge. Paris, Venice and the Riviera shimmer before the reader's eye like mirages evoked by Remarque's lovingly descriptive touch. And he has more than a trace of the gift that Cyril Connolly once noted in Hemingway of "saturating his books with the memory of physical pleasure, with sunshine and salt water, with food, wine and making love, and with the remorse which is the shadow of that sun." The trouble is that Remarque's sun is too often in eclipse...
More Selections from Alice in Wonderland (Cyril Ritchard; Riverside). Actor Ritchard has style, a quality increasingly confined to British actors and aristocrats. He is quipsy, quirkish, quibblesome and wopsical, as Alice's high-styled brand of insane logic and sane illogic demands. Children who teethe well on The Mock Turtle's Story and Advice from a Caterpillar may be treated to Riverside's full-length Alice...
