...eastward to the lower Amur River region. Under construction: a highway from the mid-Siberian maneuvering and training center of Yakutsk eastward toward Anadyr, near the tip of Siberia, facing Alaska; a railroad from Nikolaevsk to Kamchatka, circling the Sea of Okhotsk and making Japan's northern water flank in effect a Russian lake...

Unseen Searchlight. Columbia's cyclotron yielded its first meson beam about a year ago, when Dr. Eugene T. Booth (now working on a secret Government project) was in charge of the great machine. Since then, the meson beam has played like an unseen searchlight around the flank of the cyclotron, lighting up dark corners of atomic physics. The mass of the quick-vanishing pi meson has been measured accurately, as well as its "spin," which is something like rotation. Dr. James Rainwater, the present boss of the cyclotron, is finding out what happens when mesons hit protons, neutrons...
