Atomic Radio. Professor Isidor Isaac Rabi and associates of Columbia University showed that individual atoms send out radio waves in the broadcast and shortwave ranges-one and one-half to 1,000 metres. Naturally the energy of each wave is tiny and each atom sends out a wave only once in 1,000 to 100,000,000 years. But there are so many billions of atoms in a small pinch of substance that Dr. Rabi gets a continuous program on his detector, which is a ribbon of incandescent tungsten in an oscillating electromagnetic field. He expects to use atomic radio...

They want to pick their fruit from the trees, not gather it off the ground. Grounded apples are spoiled by bruises and rotting. Science cannot suspend the Law of Gravitation for beleaguered orchardists, but last week it offered them a substitute in the form of a chemical apple-stem toughener...
Typically English was Artist Munnings' liverish outburst last week in Suffolk, the county of his birth. At Bury St. Edmunds, 87 miles from London, where the Magna Charta was drawn up, Mayor Harry Isaac Jarman prepared to open a Munnings exhibit.

To the seven, Munnings made violent objection: six were "childish beginnings" that he had outgrown, one he had not even painted. He insisted that...
