...acknowledged master in the field, Warburg, 72, brooked no quibble. "The era in which [my theory] could be disputed is over, and no one today can doubt that we understand the origin of cancer cells." There were disputers nonetheless. One of them Copenhagen's Dr. Jorgen Kieler, told a leukemia conference at the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit: "This concept cannot be accepted without reservations." Dr. Kieler showed that under certain conditions leukemic cells "breathed" at the same rate as normal cells. This contradicts Warburg's belief that the respiration of all cancer cells has been irreversibly damaged...
EVEN in the current era of labor peace, one big troublemaker still shows up all too often in U.S. industrial relations. That troublemaker is the time study, the system by which the operation of a certain job is clocked to determine how long it should take to do it. A time study man with a ticking stopwatch can show up on a factory floor and in an hour bring a giant production process to a halt; an argument over time studies is one of the biggest causes of the five-month-old strike at Westinghouse (TIME...

To forestall his own disappearance, he should take measures which are more permanent than Stalin's--books and busts are passe in an era of incinerators and chisels.

This is especially true when the cause of Group V or VI standing is almost universally found to be either extra-curricular obligations or psychological problems. It seems deplorable that the University should force a student with extra-curricular ambitions and abilities into an unnecessarily studious pose, and even more deplorable that the College should...
Pineau pointed to SEATO's recent naval and military maneuvers off Thailand. "Do you really think that, in this atomic era, this handful of ships will give the impression that the West is the leader of the world? The Bulganin-Khrushchev tour of India was much more important. If the West does not make an effort in the direction of propositions of peace, we shall be beaten first on the field of propaganda and then on that of policy...
