There is very little that any art form, most of all the cinema, can say significantly that is not bound to offend somebody. But the offense is less dangerous than the suffocation of the art. Modern drama and literature have shown a deep concern for the darker side of life; to cut the cinema off from this mainstream of intense concern and bewilderment in modern art is to allow it to become more and more a picture of a mythical and unreal world...
...Angeles burst out of classrooms one morning last week to test returning sunshine and the soft sea air that had swept away a week's foul weather. They found the world newly come alive, trees and stuccoed buildings glistening magically in rain-washed brilliance. Overhead, winter's deep blue sky throbbed to the scream of jets and the snarl of conventional piston engines. But to the San Fernando Valley's children, raised around Southern California's cluster of major aircraft plants, the heavy traffic in vapor trails and engine noises was unmagically routine...
...great new dam at The Dalles, will soon cover the strange rock carvings in Petroglyph Canyon. No one knows who carved the animals, sunbursts and strange, maplike designs in the hard basalt, or when or why they did it. But the fascinating mystery will never be solved if deep water is permitted to cover the evidence...
...Deep-Frozen Amplifier. Some theoretical physicists have no visible connection with practicality, but others who are just as erudite hope that "hardware" will eventually grow out of their bold thinking. Professor Malcolm W. Strandberg of M.I.T. bases his reasoning on the weird idea of temperatures below absolute zero. Such temperatures do not exist in the ordinary, tangible sense, but they help Dr. Strandberg think about phenomena strongly affected by temperature...
...astronomy might become so sensitive that astronomers would have to spend years digesting the records of a short observing period. No Versitron has been built, but Bell Telephone Laboratories, guided mainly by Dr. Strandberg's theories and those of Professor N. Bloembergen of Harvard, has tested successfully a deep-frozen device that acts as an oscillator and promises to grow into a Versitron-like amplifier. Magnetic Explosion. The magnetic fields that exist around horseshoe magnets are gentle, harmless things, but when a magnetic field gets really intense, it acts like a high explosive. Physicists H. P. Furth...
