...nation's most spectacular feat has been its economic and fiscal comeback. The phenomenal upsurge that has become known as the "French miracle" has in five years turned near bankruptcy to boom, made the once-fragile franc one of the world's sturdiest currencies. Soon after De Gaulle came to power in 1958, the nation's reserves were so close to exhaustion that he had no recourse but to devalue the franc. Offered two alternative proposals, the President, who is as innocent of economics as Konrad Adenauer or John Kennedy, gambled on a "strong plan." It wrung...
...began the season with only five lettermen in the line, and injuries quickly began impairing the efficiency of the sophomores and JV hopefuls. But despite these difficulties, Harvard eventually built a wall capable of protecting its excellent backfield, and the coaching staff and the team deserve applause for that feat alone...
Last week was a good one for Ivy records. Brown's John Parry caught his 26th pass during the Harvard game, a feat which set a new mark for receptions in one season. His nine catches in the Stadium also established a standard for receptions in a single game...
...science to figures and folios which the Scientific American reader wouldn't otherwise reach. I'm not sure that his mixture of explicit summary and speculative essay is altogether a good thing. Newman's four-volume compilation of mathematical writings The World of Mathematics is a classic editorial feat; Mathematics and the Imagination (which Newman wrote with the late mathematician Edward Kasner) was, on the other hand, an original work that popularized lucidly some nontrivial aspects of mathematics. Echoes of both the editor and the expositor trail through the pages of this latest compendium: Newman, I think, is trying...
...Stanford Accelerator will avoid this problem by building a straight line course two miles long, along down which the electrons will travel. The major problem here will be to construct a level track for such a great distance. If accomplished, it will be an engineering feat without parallel. The Stanford machine will be considerably more powerful than the C.E.A.: it is designed to operate at 25 Bev, and eventually reach as much as 45 Bev. But, it will concentrate on the same problems the C.E.A. is currently attacking
