Since the AEC's Chairman Lewis Strauss firmly opposes any test-suspension agreement on the ground that the Russians would cheat, and influential Nuclear Physicist Edward Teller supports Strauss by insisting that they technically could cheat, the 2,050-mile mistake caused a flurry of accusations that the AEC had been doing some cheating itself. Hubert Humphrey all but accused Strauss & Co. of deliberately twisting truth. Asked the Strauss-baiting Washington Post and Times Herald: "Has the AEC been bending the scientific facts to suit a preconceived position...
Still seeking challengers for Republican Irving Ives's New York Senate seat, at stake this fall, the Democratic-allied Liberal Party tentatively tossed one well-known Homburg in the ring. The boomed candidate: TV's furrow-browed Edward Roscoe (See It Now) Murrow. Gruffed Murrow: "I have neither the intention nor the appetite to run for elective office," would not deny that more persuasion might change his mind. Added Murrow's good friend, New York Governor Averell Harriman (who has approved former Air Force Secretary Thomas K. Finletter): "It would be an interesting thing...
...course stems from the conviction of such committee members as Nobel Prizewinners I. I. Rabi and Edward Purcell that most high school physics texts and teaching techniques lag as much as half a century behind the times. Worse yet, physics is usually presented as a series of unrelated subjects, e.g., mechanics, heat, electricity. The committee's ambitious goal: a program that explores and relates such basics of modern physics as the wave concept and submicroscopic particles...
Some of the agencies have proved on occasion that they can overcome, or at least cut down, the lengthy and costly red tape that makes a nightmare out of the simplest issue. The FTC was a slow-moving bureaucracy when former Chairman Edward Howrey took over in 1953. He eliminated or bypassed many petty details of bureaucracy, cut the average time for processing an antimonopoly case from 65 months to 22 months today. Under present Chairman John Gwynne, only one in five FTC cases goes through the full and costly process; the others are settled by consent agreements...
...compared to a subhuman being. Such is the case of Wolfgang Leonlard, an ex-Stalinist official of East Germany, whose dismal career has apparently foundered on the dismal hope that "national Communism" would be better than the all-too-togetherness of a universal Moscow state. Soviet Expert Edward Crankshaw met Leonhard in Yugoslavia, where, says Crankshaw in his foreword, "he was rather like one of those legendary young men who . . . emerge from the jungle emitting strange sounds, having spent their childhood or adolescence in the exclusive company of wolves-or bears...
