Three of the nation's leading atomic scientists were ushered into the White House one morning last week by Atomic Energy Commission Chairman Lewis Strauss for a 45-minute conference with the President. The scientists: Edward Teller, credited with the theoretical discovery that led to a successful H-bomb, Ernest O. Lawrence, Nobel Prizewinning director of the University of California's radiation laboratory at Livermore, Calif., and Mark M. Mills, physicist and head of the lab's theoretical division. They brought a report of grave but potentially hopeful meaning. In the lab at Livermore, they told...
...Boss. All that remains to remind people of the hated era of collectivization, reported TIME Correspondent Edward Hughes from Morawice last week, is a little signboard in the center of the village square, which .bears faded posters of another government, with pictures of Warsaw's Russian-built "Palace of Culture."

...Chief Justice of England, second by dismissing him altogether from the bench. It was useless. The "masterful, masterless" Coke merely returned to the House of Commons, where his shrewd advice created endless trouble for James. When Commons suggested that James be petitioned for liberty of speech and action, cagey Edward Coke pointed out to the members the potentially fatal error of begging for something that was already theirs by right of law. "Take heed," he said, "that we lose not our liberties by petitioning for liberty," and: "If my sovereign will not allow me my inheritance, I must...
