OVER in Nevada, TIME'S science expert, Associate Editor Jonathan Norton Leonard, waited for the A-bomb to go off. More than one dawn he stood on Yucca Flat in a milling mass of scientists, newsmen, civil-defense workers, military observers and state governors, just waiting. To the north, the Joshua trees stood like shaggy ghosts, and behind them lights marked the 500-ft. tower that held the bomb. Near by, TV crewmen turned their great searchlights toward the ground to warm themselves in their artificial sunlight. The desert was bitter cold, and no one seemed to have enough...
WHAT may be the West's oldest painting of the Madonna has been rediscovered in Rome's Church of Santa Francesca Romana. An expert restorer named Pico Cellini found the panel (right) under a 13th century Tuscan canvas of the same subject, which he had been commissioned to clean...
Portland police decided that the wiring of Smith's car had been an expert job.

Then he followed the most authoritative route over the isthmus' north-coast range, down a remote river and across the densely jungled central plain. At length he faced three peaks, two about 8,000 ft. high and one only 2,200. With...
...personal as his handwriting. Even if the painter works in a strict tradition, his personal touch will appear in small things: the way he paints ear lobes, or hair, or crosshatches a shadow. By familiarizing himself with Italian Renaissance art down to such details, Berenson became the reigning expert on the subject. His overriding idea-that art must be experienced to be appreciated, that the viewer should try to lose himself in the beauty of the picture-has liberated many of his readers from the cold bonds of snobbism and artificial art-loving. Self & Non-Self. Today Berenson...
