Last week, as solemn as cricketers, eight teams of seasoned marblers (six men to a team) massed around a concrete bed at Tinsley Green to knuckle it out for the 352nd marbles championship. This match was the most momentous ever: the recently organized Marbles Control Board hopes to send this year's championship six across the water to challenge a U. S. team. Gravely each man in turn studied the positions of the marbles in the circle, gravely knuckled down, tried to knock his opponents' marbles off the bed with an accurate flick of his "tolly" (shooter...
Last week some Maryland chemists (the Maryland section of the American Chemical Society) stuck their collective neck out. To entertain fellow chemists, meeting in Baltimore, they staged a show the like of which no chemist or choreographer had ever seen-a "chemical ballet." The theory was that the formation, movement and dissociation of molecules, the nuclear spins of electrons, etc., could be represented by appropriate music and dancing. The music was written by Dr. Donald Hatch Andrews, a musically inclined chemistry professor at Johns Hopkins, in collaboration with one of his students. The choreography was arranged by Carol Lynn Fetser...

At 61 he is portly, neat, given to anecdote (Sally Rand's bubble once burst and landed in his lap; he swears "it wasn't my cigar that broke it"). An engineer who tinkers in his own machine shop in the cellar of his East Orange, N. J. home, he is also a good salesman, a rabid Republican. His chief irritation is that the view from his Manhattan window includes...
