Radio astronomy had its beginnings in the U.S., but it has been brought to its highest point in Britain, whose frequently leaden skies handicap optical telescopes. It is still a young science, with surprises coming thick and fast. A vast assortment of radio waves filters down from the sky. Some of the waves come from nearby planets and the sun. Others come from patches of faintly luminous gas, or from the clouds of cold hydrogen drifting among the stars. The new telescope is fitted for recording all these faint whispers on wave lengths from ten centimeters to about 20 meters...
Foreign Policy. Swarthy, slight (5 ft. 4 in. 130 Ibs.) Premier Kishi is as avid a golfer as President Eisenhower, happily looks forward to a match with Ike at Burning Tree this week. His handicap is a "state secret,'' but under the pressure of work it has gone up from 15 to 21. No state secret are the "suggestions" for a "new era" in Japanese-U.S. relations that he will raise with Eisenhower and Secretary of State Dulles.

Secondly, these faculties are excellent teaching faculties, but while they include individual scholars of renown, they are not centers of research. The teaching and counseling duties constitute a severe handicap to research. At Swarthmore the teacher performs in both seminar and courses, and this can result in a schedule requiring the equivalent of five half courses and two one-term seminars in a year, or an average of up to thirteen teaching hours per week.

For characters like Baxter (an outcast because he arrived from the West Coast, of all places, in a brown suit and porkpie hat) and for McGough (who suffers the crippling handicap of being the headmaster's son), there is only one thing to do at Hawley-defeat Hawley. They nearly succeed. A pipe is shot from the mouth of a bird-watching master, the dorm-to-chapel sprint record is broken, and the "discriminatory practices" of the old against...
