...current fashion for pitting psychiatry and religion against each other as though they were mutually exclusive took a beating on last week's Catholic Hour from a brilliant Roman Catholic convert who is also a distinguished psychiatrist: Karl Stern, author (The Pillar of Fire) and chief of psychiatry at Ottawa General Hospital. The conflict is not necessary or even real, said Dr. Stern, and the appearance of conflict is fostered by fallacies on both sides...
Every night last week, 16-year-old Lewis Macfarlane, a tall, intent Seattle high-school senior, carefully trained his homemade 8-in. telescope on a northeastern sector of the star-sprinkled sky. Now and then he paused to check his notes with fellow sky-watcher Karl Krienke, 24, a math teacher at Seattle Pacific College. They were compiling a log-speed, appearance, location-on Comet 1955F, and their unmistakable pride came from the fact that they had just discovered the new comet themselves...
Young Rudolf Kastner had been a fixer in a small Hungarian town. When Admiral Horthy capitulated to Hitler in 1944, Kastner was head of Budapest's Jewish Rescue Committee.

More than 20 years ago, Dr. Karl von Frisch, topflight bee authority, thought of a way to test the bee's remarkable sense of time. He knew that if sugar water is offered to bees at a fixed hour, they will sally forth every day just in time to get it. They do not judge time by the sun, as was proved by putting the hive in an artificially lighted room, but there was a chance that some more subtle local influence might keep them on schedule...
...must be "constructive" (TIME, April 18), newsmen have been worried. Such a policy is just the thing for Government officials who want to cover up their own mistakes by withholding "nonconstructive" news. In practice, reporters got less and less news at the Pentagon. When Wilson named R. (for Richard) Karl Honaman, 59, as his new information chief, newsmen were even more concerned. He had never been a newsman, and what press experience he had gained was as Director of Publication for the Bell Telephone Laboratories. His only recent Government experience was as a censor for the Department of Commerce...
