Planned Parenthood. Although he is a registered Democrat, Seaborg has been politically passive, served both Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower as an adviser. In 1959 the AEC gave him the $50,000 Enrico Fermi Award-the highest honor the Government can bestow on an atomic scientist. Last January, four days before he took office as President, John Kennedy appointed Seaborg chairman of the AEC-the highest federal administrative post a U.S. scientist has ever attained...

...Connie Francis). Not content with a bestseller career in the jukebox circuit, he has spread out into nightclubs, TV and movies. Last summer, landing on a Normandy Beach in a scene for 20th Century-Fox's The Longest Day (TIME, Sept. 8), he performed so valorously that General Dwight D. Zanuck has since expanded his role and called him back to Europe. Wherever he goes, in the U.S. or on song-promoting tours as far away as Japan, he is mobbed by teen-age nuts of all races. In Puerto Rico, when frenzied admirers besieged him in a department...
