...Little Brother. In the hullabaloo over fallout, scientists have concentrated on strontium 90, neglected its little brother, strontium 89, though they are similar in emitting damaging beta rays. Main difference: Sr-89 decays faster, losing half its activity in 54 days, v. 20 years for Sr-90. But of the two, Sr-89 may be a greater hazard to the unborn child, warned Dr. Arthur R.

Tourists, critics, even State Department officials have suggested that these works give a one-sided-and distorted-glance at the U.S. world of art. This week a new European show of American paintings is stressing another side-realism...
...Chinese masters, says Watts, was wu-shih, which means "nothing special," or "no fuss." Bohemian affectations or monastery meditations are both forms of fuss, "and I will admit that the very hullabaloo about Zen, even in such an article as this, is also fuss-but a little less...
