...decision in October 1958 to suspend U.S. nuclear tests. But strong pressure in favor of more tests will come from some of Kennedy's nuclear and military advisers, who are eager to try out the so-called "neutron bomb" (TIME, Nov. 14)-a new breed of hydrogen weapon that is triggered by conventional explosives rather than nuclear fission. The ultimate in "clean" bombs (there is virtually no fallout), the neutron bomb is almost certainly under development by Russian scientists, and the U.S. cannot afford to linger much longer in testing...
...natural food fats fall into one of three categories-saturated, mono-unsaturated and polyunsaturated. The degree of saturation depends on the number of hydrogen atoms on the fat molecule. Saturated fats can accommodate no more hydrogens. Mono-unsaturated fats have room for two more hydrogens on each molecule, and the polyunsaturated fat molecule has room for at least four hydrogens...
...Keys, the big cut in reducing U.S. fat intake should come in the popular saturated fats which, although more expensive, have become a bigger and bigger part of the American diet. Restaurants take pride in heavily marbled meat. Most margarine manufacturers "convert liquid fats into partly saturated solids by "hydrogenating" them-that is, by forcing hydrogen atoms onto the liquid fat molecules. Dairy farmers are paid more for milk with high butterfat content. Keys is a milk drinker himself-but only of modified skim milk that contains a maximum of 2% butterfat...
Edward Teller, 52, vehemently dislikes his title: "Father of the H-bomb." In the first place, he argues, the big bomb was the creation of many minds. Even more important, the phrase is unpopular with Teller's teen-age son Paul. Explains Teller: "No one would want the hydrogen bomb for a kid brother." But the rumpled, Hungarian-born physicist has small chance of escape. Many minds did indeed contribute to the U.S. H-bomb, but it was Teller's basic insight that made the finished product possible. Today, he teaches a freshman course in physics appreciation at U.C.L.A...
...anyone to do with as they will." It was a spare-time experiment with a borrowed electromagnet and a quarter's worth of paraffin that led to his Nobel-prizewinning "nuclear resonance" system for measuring atomic properties. In his early studies of the 21-cm. radio waves coming from hydrogen clouds in interstellar space, Purcell made do with a hastily devised antenna hung outside his Harvard laboratory. It looked like a horn left over from an ancient phonograph, but it worked...
