Last week the public learned that five atomic scientists have had their eyes dimmed by cyclotron cataracts. Three of the victims had been working with the University of Illinois' cyclotron. Physicist Lloyd Smith, now 26, helped install it in 1943, and he did not notice a cloudiness in one eye until 1946. When he asked a girl physicist in the laboratory to marry him, he warned her that something was happening to his eyes (she said yes). Now working at the University of California's radiation laboratory, he hopes to have the cataracts removed soon...
...Gerald Krueger, in charge of the Illinois cyclotron, noticed just a month ago that he had cataracts in both eyes. His vision is blurred, but he is still able to hunt (last week he shot two rabbits). Dr. Gerhart Groetzinger, 40, now of the University of Chicago, worked on the Illinois cyclotron during the war; he noticed a cataract's dimming effects in his right eye two years ago. It seems to be clearing, and he hopes it will go away without an operation. The fifth victim is a nuclear physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology...
...believable world that blazes with sunshiny yellows and royal-purple shadows. But though he has changed the colors of his palette, he has not changed his political colors. The clear new light in Portinari's newest murals-including that of the Tooth-Puller-does more than please the eye; it makes Portinari, who says he paints "to teach my people what is wrong," an increasingly vivid teacher...

...totalitarian extremes, Dos Passos faced the tough job of making the next novel in his series a defense of his liberal values. Next week, after delays caused by Dos Passos' war reporting and a highway accident which took his wife's life and cost him an eye, that novel will come out. The Grand Design contains the expected defense of liberalism, but it speaks in a worried, hesitant, uncertain voice in which there is little of the power of U.S.A...
