During the last seventy years Russell's thinking has formed an indelible imprint on his times. He grew up in the Cambridge of Whitehead, Moore, Broad, Wittgenstein, Eddington, Rutherford, and Keynes, and he has always seemed a product of the intellectual vigor of Cambridge undergraduate life at the turn of the century. Those were the days before an English University education had become part of the professional class's struggle for existence, and for Whitehead and Russell, Cambridge conformed almost exactly to the Platonic ideal of education; they divided their time between mathematics and free discussion with their friends...
Most good will visits are forgotten as soon as the dignitaries depart, the confetti is swept up, and the trucked-in crowds are trucked back where they came from.

Unlimited Horizon. Detection by infra-red can perform incredible feats. A person can put his hand against a wall for a short time, and an infra-red camera taking a picture of the other side of the wall will later pick out the imprint of the hand. The temperature of the moon can be easily measured. Scientists are experimenting to see if infra-red can detect the presence of cancer by changes in skin temperature. Although infra-red was developed primarily for the military and to guide and track missiles, detect camouflage and take aerial photographs through fog, other uses...

Then he delivered his decision: "I will tell the cardinal that these paintings can be consecrated...
TIME's editors have been choosing a Man of the Year-the man whose imprint was most prominent in the year's events-ever since 1927, when the first choice was Charles A. Lindbergh. At times, the Man of the Year has been a symbolic figure (the American fighting man in Korea, 1950; the Hungarian Freedom Fighter, 1956), a woman (Queen Elizabeth, 1952), or even a couple (Generalissimo and Madame Chiang Kaishek, 1937). This year tradition takes a new twist: for the first time, the cover belongs to the Men of the Year-15 brilliant Americans, exemplars...
