Explains Jocelyn Stevens, editor of the glossy fashion magazine, Queen: "Society smiles on all the up-and-coming money and enjoys it. but then withdraws into its own inner circle." In Stevens' world, the,socially important "ins" compromise brilliantly with the new-rich "outs." "Ascot, Lord's the Royal Academy, Henley are still very smart and as important as ever," and the ins cunningly let enough of the outs into Ascot at ten guineas a head to pay for the "necessary pomp and glamour...
...think it can be said that Cezanne is first and foremost the painter's painter. Whether he deals with a mountain or an apple he concentrates upon the inner architecture of his subject. An analogy with Bach is entirely correct--the partitas and fugues rather than the masses and cantatas. In both cases pure form is the object; in both the most complete spiritual clarity is achieved; in both sentimentality is banished. Emotion is there, but it serves to enrich a work which is as intellectually controlled as art in any form can be. In short, it represents that inspiration...
...Inner Space & Pluck. Thus primed, the talent scouts welcomed buxom Contralto Francesca Friedlander, a Czechoslovakian refugee in a Moravian peasant costume, who explained that "on this beautiful morning I am going to bring you our rivers.

...been, by inclination and intent, a "pure" scientist. His real interest is in cosmic rays. He started being curious about cosmic rays back in the prewar days when they were considered as wildly abstruse and impractical as a study of the mating habits of sea horses or the inner structure of a grasshopper's brain. But today he can tip back his head and look at the sky. Beyond its outermost blue are the world-encompassing belts of fierce radiation that bear his name. No human name has ever been given to a more majestic feature of the planet...
...four lower lines on the chart were made by the instruments of Explorer IV while it was passing through the inner Van Allen belt of heavy radiation. Channel I is from a Geiger tube set up to give a pulse when 64 radiation particles have passed through it, is thus intended to record areas of relatively low radiation. Here the radiation is so heavy that the counter is swamped and no meaningful count is recorded. Its small oscillations are mere radio noise...
