...strange rays obtained by the Curie-Joliots. He found that they were electrically neutral like light but were actually particles 1,845 times as heavy as electrons. Thus was discovered the neutron (TIME, March 7, 1932). The Curie-Joliots confirmed his discovery, showed that neutrons behaved as only electrically inert particles could...
...meal, cotton seed meal, sugar beet pulp, cellulose flour and agar agar. How do such bulky foods make the bowels move? Drs. Olmsted & Williams decided: "The sum and substance of this physiological experiment goes to prove that the so-called 'bulk' of the human diet is not inert material going through the intestinal tract unchanged, but rather that it is acted upon by bacteria to a very great degree, and that it is these split products of bacterial action that stimulate...
...inert non-resident students must soon realize it; put his shoulder to the wheel and help establish this, now tentative, organization. Its benefits are incalculable, and its resulting opportunities and advantages are worthy of every effort and sacrifice...
...cannot be said that the young Curie-Joliots discovered neutrons, elusive, electrically inert particles 1,845 times as heavy as electrons. Neutrons were produced incognito by them and other researchers. Dr. James Chadwick of Cambridge University's famed Cavendish Laboratory first proclaimed neutrons for what they were (TIME, March 7, 1932). The Curie-Joliot work on radiation was a stout prop for Dr. Chadwick, and his proclamation was confirmed by the French couple who experimentally showed that neutrons behaved as only electrically dead particles could (TIME, Aug. 1, 1932). Hailed in every physical journal...
...Public Educational System as an institution "devoted to the glorification of the mediocre and to the perpetuation of convenient half-truth." The author of this statement might have gone further. He might have railed against the politician who makes these things possible and necessary, he might have castigated the inert combination of cynicism on the high side, and of saccharine ignorance on the low, a combination which in turn makes the politician possible and necessary. And if asked for a demonstration, he might have turned to the evidence which Dean Holmes presented in the Massachusetts State House yesterday afternoon...
