...much nearer-though they still insist it is far off. When a slow-moving neutron hits the uranium atom's nucleus, the nucleus is constricted around the middle and finally splits, like an amoeba reproducing itself. But though the energy of the activating neutron is only a small fraction of one electron-volt, 200,000,000 electron-volts of energy are released. Last fortnight, Dr. Richard David Present of Purdue described a three-way split. If conditions, including the energy of the entering neutron, are right, two constrictions instead of one crease the atom, dividing it into nearly equal...
...English Instructor David McKelvy White, son of Ohio's onetime Governor George White, who left the college to fight for the Loyalists in Spain; Philosophy Professor Howard Selsam; Mrs. Selsam. Party members were not told the names of comrades in other units, but once Dr. Grebanier attended a "fraction"' meeting of Communists in the Teachers Union, there found 100 members of the faculties of the municipal colleges, Columbia...

As Czecho-Slovakia, the Low Countries, Sweden and Italy were consecutively blocked out, U. S. manufacturers found themselves with all but a fraction (Great Britain's) of the $100,000,000 U. S. pottery and china market on their hands. They were geared to supply two-thirds of it, no more. Last week they were so far behind on orders that they refused to make deliveries before early 1941.

Crimson Varsity dashmen will have their hands full with ex-Olympian Charley Hutter and George Scott. Scott seems to get better with age, cutting off a fraction of a second from his 50 time for every year he is out of college...
Unquestionably many of those who have associated themselves with various phases of the preparedness program are unsympathetic to democracy and await eagerly the surrendering by hundreds of thousands of young Americans of their civilian privileges and immunities as they become draftees under military law. Unquestionably a goodly fraction of the most agile jumpers-onto-the-bandwagon-of-Preparedness are out to play the trend for all it is worth as a business proposition. Unquestionably, these two groups are the enemies of democracy...
