...main themes of the toys this year are science and war. Keeping up with the year's changes in the nuclear laboratories, the new Atomic Energy Labs, selling at $49.50, are now equipped with deionizers, Dri-electric power packs, and Geiger Counters. Thousands of smiling pink-checked celebrants on the 25th are being exhorted to test the radioactivity of ore samples, measure half-lives, view the alpha particle effect on fluorescent screens, and prospect for radio-active deposits on the way to school. Parents are assured that success in this venture may lead to a $10,000 reward, that very...

...Deep in the Middle East desert last week, a burnoosed Arab swung a Geiger counter over a fat steel pipe, tracing the progress of a radioactive swab inside. Behind the swab pushed a brown tide of oil, bound on a 1,068-mile journey from Arabian-American Oil Co.'s vast Saudi Arabian wells to the Mediterranean port of Sidon, in Lebanon. It was the first oil to pass through the $200 million Trans-Arabian pipeline (known as Tapline), the biggest overseas construction project ever financed by private U.S. capital...
...dozen faintly bored gentlemen, some 13 bosomy A.E. Associates in flowing evening gowns gyrated gracefully about a stage in earnest imitation of atomic forces at work. An ample electron in black lace wound her way around two matrons labeled "proton" and "neutron" while an elderly ginger-haired Geiger counter clicked out their radioactive effect on a pretty girl named Agriculture. At a climactic moment, a Mrs. Monica Davial raced across the stage in spirited representation of a rat eating radioactive cheese. Mrs. Davial, it was noted in the program, had "recently returned from a trip to Tibet" and hence presumably...
...warn her of radiation, Mrs. MacDonald has a portable Geiger counter linked to a detector tube in the garden. When the counter sets off an alarm bell, Mrs. MacDonald will go to her shelter, taking the counter with her to connect up inside so that she will know when the area is clear of radiation and she can safely...
