...people bother to count up the sportsmen who have been unbothered by the jinx. They were chosen for their excellence and they continue to display the qualities that put them on the cover.

In their latest atomic synthesis, nuclear physicists have produced the heaviest atom known to man, a new isotope of the element mendelevium, which itself was first artificially created...

A 17-ft. pole vault is common enough today, but was utterly inconceivable before the invention of the fiber-glass jumping pole. The latest sport to feel the impact of technology is tennis, in which almost any change is a change for the better...
