...Wyeth's near-photographic Christina Olsen took second, and Karl Zerbe's cluttered but technically clever Actors took third. Wyeth's almost monochromatic study showed that conservatism in art need not imply lack of imagination. Son of famed illustrator N. C. (Treasure Island) Wyeth, he had done justice to his drab subject in a way fresh enough to stop the eye, and hold the mind...
...thoughtful questioning. Dr. Will Menninger describes himself as a "psychodynamic psychiatrist."

Scientists using mercury light should be able to measure with an accuracy of one part...
Said Engineer Poole: the theory of the atom-driven airplane is "99% perfected." The long-haired scientists have done their work, he explained, and now it is up to the "slide-rule men" to translate theory into a tangible airplane...
