George Hill, varsity end for the last three years, made one of the most celebrated catches in Crimson football history Saturday, when he married Natalie Nelson, daughter of Swede ("How? Scrambled") Nelson, famed Crimson back of the early...
...acre potato farm near Hempstead, L.I., named it Levittown, and started building houses on it at the rate of 150 a week. The houses were neat and trim but so much alike that the development had a barracks-like air. But looks made little difference. By the end of last year they had finished and rented 6,000 houses (Levittown's population is now 20,000), and their gross had jumped from 1947's $20 million to twice that. As big-scale production cut costs the Levitts decided they could give Levittown a slightly bigger house...
...long ago as 1900, according to Shimkin, the Russians began looking for radioactive minerals. The best find was at Tyuya Muyun in the Fergana Valley of Central Asia, 200 miles east of Tashkent -where a mine was opened in 1908. By the end of 1913, it had produced 1,044 tons of ore containing vanadium, copper and about .82% of uranium. At 26 pounds of U-235 per atom bomb (a current guess), this early production could have yielded theoretically enough "fissionable material" for four bombs. The Tyuya Muyun mine was still producing in 1936, when it (and some radioactive...

Long before the end, readers may ask themselves the same question. The Hollow of the Wave fails to explain the social dilemma of its drifting characters and falls equally short of lighting up the sources of their individual despair. Even the Communists' victory over a bewildered liberal seems of no more interest to Author Newhouse than it does to his hero, who acts as if he expected defeat all along and manages to shrug it off. Having dived from his old Marxist crest, Novelist Newhouse himself seems still to be washing about in the hollow of the wave...
