...lacy pattern of little round balls in the background of this week's cover is from a deoxyribo-nucleic-acid molecule model built at Manhattan's Sloan-Kettering Institute. The grey balls represent carbon atoms; blue is phosphorous; yellow is nitrogen; red is oxygen; white is hydrogen. Molecules do not look like this, of course. The atoms in them are much too small to be seen, even with an electron microscope. The pattern shown is a small part, somewhat simplified, of the DNA molecule, which geneticists now believe is the carrier of heredity and the chemical master...
...journalist was all that big, slow-talking, prematurely grey Jim McConaughy ever wanted to be. Son of James Lukens McConaughy, president of Wesleyan University and Connecticut's Republican Governor from 1946 to 1948, Jim got a job with the Hartford Times while still at Wesleyan, where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa. In 1938 he came to TIME and asked for a job. The only place open at the time was as a copy boy; he took it. Later he went to Chicago as a correspondent, returned to New York as a writer. In 1944 he traveled to Parris Island...

...inspectors found it "much decayed, the Floors & Chimneys much sunk." In 1781 the Board of Works bluntly called it "dangerous." In 1832, the year of the great Reform Bill, Earl Grey had to move out of it because it had become uninhabitable, and even Winston Churchill, no man to take a British institution lightly, found it "shaky." Last week, in a special White Paper, Her Majesty's government announced that No. 10 is in worse shape than ever...
...Churches and the Lutheran World Federation could only protest and reiterate "full confidence" in Lajos Ordass. From Vienna a TIME correspondent cabled this picture of the defeated bishop: "He now lives in a two-room Budapest apartment with his wife, two daughters and two grandchildren. Wearing an old grey sweater, as grey as his face, and smoking too much, Ordass manages to speak serenely despite the fact that he is obviously ill. He may or may not get a pension from the government. But his wife, who is suffering from asthma, recently learned how to make artificial flowers...
