...lack of communication at home is often as disastrous as any on the battlefield. In the cold war of world armaments, a leading scientist made a statement a few weeks ago that went almost unnoticed by the press, but is fully as disquieting as the announcement of the Russian hydrogen bomb. Said the director of the Brookhaven National Laboratory: "there exists a complete lack of communication between the scientific community and out top military and political leaders...
...record, he was right. As the convention proceeded, there were optimistic reports of a new antibiotic, tetracycline (like aureomycin but with hydrogen replacing a chlorine atom in the molecule), and of a multibiotic. a triple-threat combination of streptomycin, bacitracin and polymyxin, for external use only. But there was also plenty of talk of deleterious effects. Boston's Dr. Ethan Allan Brown called today's enthusiastic but haphazard use of antibiotics "appalling." It is misleading, he said, to speak only of patients whose deaths are recorded as resulting from reactions to antibiotics. There are more deaths, said...
...astrono- mers attempt is trying to figure out how the universe was formed. Two hypotheses dominate their debates. The "continuous creation theory" (TIME, Nov. 20, 1950) holds that the universe had no beginning and will have no end. It changes locally somewhat because of the "creation" of new matter (hydrogen atoms) in space. The hydrogen draws together to form new stars and galaxies, which gradually drift apart. But except for such "details," the universe is always in a "steady state." One thousand billion years from now it will be pretty much in the same condition as it is today...
Clustering Stars. Estimating the age of the stars and the Milky Way galaxy is a much more complicated business, but astronomers have tackled it too. One figure, based on the amount of helium that the sun has made out of its original hydrogen by a nuclear reaction, gives the sun the age of five billion years. Another, based on the clustering of stars in the galaxy, makes the galaxy itself two to five billion years...
...made by North American Philips Co. Inc., which can be carried in the trunk of a car, used for rapid spot checks on welds, pipelines, aircraft and ship equipment; a powerful new arc-torch made by the Eutectic Welding Alloys Corp. which can eat through concrete in seconds; a hydrogen analysis machine made by the National Research Corp. which for the first time can measure the amount of hydrogen in steel, thus tell steelmen how brittle their finished product...
