Anxiety is not a disease-but it is just as catching and as hard to cure. When a tense, anxious man tries to hide his feelings, other people "sense" what he is up against and start worrying too. In fact, it may be the tenseness of trying to hide tenseness that infects others, say Drs. Jurgen Ruesch and A. Rodney Prestwood of the University of California Medical School, in the current Archives of Neurology and Psychiatry...
Color Now. To the FCCommissioners and other nonscientific listeners, the workings of the systems seemed far less complicated than the arguments about their comparative virtues. The solidest single fact is that the CBS system, developed to high perfection by Dr. Peter C. Goldmark, turns out pictures which are bright, crisp, and at least as faithful as most colored movies. Their own special ill is a so-called "color flash." If the viewer looks away suddenly, he sees the picture momentarily in a single color, because of the persistence in the eye of the last one-color picture seen. A color...

...DeWitt Peters, who went to Haiti six years ago to teach English and remained to open the first and only art center in Port-au-Prince. To Peters' surprise, Haitians flocked to the new Centre d'Art with pictures for his approval. Even more surprising was the fact that half the pictures they showed him were interesting. Peters supplied his protégés with painting materials, judiciously refrained from criticizing their work. Eventually he teamed up with American Poet Selden Rodman, whose Renaissance in Haiti, published last year, helped trumpet the new primitives abroad...
