...Isidor Isaac Rabi, 59, shy, good-humored Columbia University professor of physics is chairman of the President's Scientific Advisory Committee. The Austrian-born son of a tailor, he was brought to the U.S. as an infant. In 1944 he won the Nobel Prize for discovering a new method of measuring and studying the magnetic properties of the atomic nucleus. "Some people," he says, "turn to science as a career to make a living, others because somebody they admire tremendously is a scientist. And then there are those who just can't help it-like me.

...Past. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation, the M.I.T. program is the most ambitious ever undertaken to modernize high-school physical science courses.

(for Isidor Isaac) Rabi, M.I.T.'s President James Killian, Atomic Scientist Vannevar Bush and Moviemaker Frank Capra; its working staff already numbers more than 100. Under Director Jerrold Zacharias, head of M.I.T.'s nuclear science laboratory, the staff will work at least five years on the project, after that may turn its attention to high-school chemistry...

Laboratory shelves are full of drugs that have some cancer-killing properties but can be used only briefly because of their dangerous potency. Last week Philadelphia's Dr. Isidor S. Ravdin, one of the team who operated on President Eisenhower for ileitis, announced that 20 U.S. cancer surgeons will launch a two-year test: they will apply various chemicals, selected for trial by the National Cancer Institute, to the sites of cancer operations. Surgeons have long feared that when they cut around a tumor mass, they might release and spread cancerous cells; the chemicals will be studied...
