...Four tuberculosis researchers and two drug houses (Drs. Walsh McDermott Carl Muschenheim, Edward Robitzek and Irving Selikoff; Hoffman-La Roche Research Laboratories and Squibb Institute for Medical Research), for pioneering with isoniazid...
Theoretical Upset. This year's physics prize also went to the U.S. It was shared by Drs. Willis E. Lamb Jr. and Polykarp Kusch, who worked independently on related problems at Columbia University. Between them they forced an important modification of atomic theory...
Solomonic wisdom); the three-meals-a-day routine is too arbitrary.
Strangely, Drs. Spock and Lowenberg seem not to have got the word that spinach, far from being a great bodybuilder, can actually be bad for growing children (TIME, March 30, 1953). All they concede is that if it causes chapping of the lips or anus, it is well to "omit it for several months and try again." That sounds more like old Dr. Holt...
...into Matter. Last week a team of physicists at the University of California told how they created antiprotons artificially and kept them alive long enough to identify them. Drs. Owen Chamberlain, Emilio Segre, Clyde Wiegand and Thomas Ypsilantis worked with Berkeley's Bevatron, a particle accelerator that was built by the Atomic Energy Commission for just such jobs. It can shoot a proton so fast that it carries 6.2 Bev. (billion electron volts) of energy. Physicists had figured that when a proton of this power hits a neutron, it will create a new proton and an antiproton. In such...
