...concrete shield of the cyclotron swung open, and a masked scientist dashed wildly down a 100-yard corridor in a race. His opponents: a set of disintegrating atoms. Though it was quite unlike the procedure normally associated with the grave and careful laboratories of science, the race was crucial to the performance of that increasingly difficult feat-the identification of a new element. The story of how the 100-yard dash helped a team of international scientists create element 102 is told in SCIENCE, Chemists...
...grave is the eight-ball problem that tough, alert Lieut. General Bruce Cooper Clarke, Seventh Army commander and veteran combat soldier (World War II and Korea), has sent down the word to his subordinate officers: "These individuals require special motivation and instruction. This group contains many of the misfits who, if they cannot be assimilated, must be eliminated."

Now, at 60, Albright has painted a commissioned portrait (his first) of a woman-alive...
...lithely jumped the right way-promised: "Things are going to be the same as before, only better." Scores of cities and towns named Molotov or Kaganovich petitioned with punctual unanimity to have their names changed. Ukrainian Premier Nikifor Kalchenko charged that during Stalin's reign Kaganovich had made "grave and unfounded accusations" against Ukrainian leaders, many of whom were purged. In Moscow, Presidium Alternate Alexei Kosygin said of Molotov and Kaganovich: "The basic fault that led to their anti-party activities was vanity. They considered they did not have enough power. They were more interested in discrediting party attainments...
