...child I attended several grades in a tiny, old-style country school deep in the Ozarks. It has always been a source of amusement in our family-that part of our "education."

May I suggest that someone make a mold of Principal Joseph Schwertz of New Orleans' Beauregard school [TIME, July 25], then cast about 1,000 copies of him and distribute them in California...

This involves basic work on body cells and their chemistry, for radiation kills cells by causing subtle chemical changes inside them. At Argonne, AEC scientists are irradiating small bats and examining their tissue-thin wings under high-power microscopes, to study the effects of radiation on blood and its delicate corpuscles...

By the time she has had her way, the plot has encompassed a torture scene and the remarkable regeneration of the heroine.
