...East German Central Institute for Atomic Physics chose a new deputy director at a salary of $20,160 a year. German-born, British-trained, with unique experience in his field, he was the obvious man for the job: Communist Spy Klaus Emil Fuchs, 47, onetime head of the theoretical physics department at Britain's Harwell Atomic Energy Research Establishment, who slipped atom-bomb secrets to Russian agents, was caught and imprisoned in 1950. Released 2½ months ago, Fuchs flew to East Berlin, was made a citizen of East Germany almost as soon as the wheels hit the runway...
...Newcomer Britt's acting ability still remains to be proved, there is no question about the professional skill of longtime German Box Office Idol Jurgens. Though he is almost too handsome for the role of the petty-tyrannical high school teacher (played in the original by Emil Jannings), Jurgens subtly conveys the unavowed jealousy that flares up within him whenever he catches his students ogling Lola Lola.

...ramshackle Chicago laboratory, an earnest, imaginative young scientist named Emil Grubbe gazed at the greenish glow coming from a Crookes vacuum tube he had made. He put his left hand on the tube. It was warm. Grubbe (pronounced Grew-bay) was satisfied that the tube (useful only in scientific experiments) was working right. By summer's end, a severe skin irritation appeared on Grubbe's left hand. Dermatologists had no idea what it was.

Lead Shields. Chicago-born Emil Herman Grubbe got through Valparaiso (Ind.) University at 20, mined platinum in Idaho, and began using the metal in his vacuum tubes. He was teaching chemistry and studying medicine at Chicago's Hahnemann Medical College (a homeopathic school, now defunct). There, three weeks after word of Roentgen's work got out. Grubbe displayed his burned left hand at a faculty meeting. A doctor suggested that anything capable of causing such a reaction in healthy tissue might be used in treating diseased tissue. Another doctor promptly referred a woman with breast cancer to Grubbe...
...William S. Knudsen, a Danish immigrant bicyclemaker turned automan, was the one who lit the fuse under Chevrolet and sent it out ahead of Ford as the most popular U.S. car. His reward was the presidency of General Motors. Three years ago, Big Bill Knudsen's son, Semon Emil Knudsen, took on a similar job: he was made boss of G.M.'s sputtering Pontiac division, thus became, at 43, G.M.'s youngest auto-di-vision boss. Pontiac was the weakest of all the auto divisions, languishing in sixth place in overall U.S. car sales. Last week "Bunky...
