...solve the mystery of life, as physics works at solving the mystery of matter. Genetics has already accounted scientifically for blue eyes (even in a strictly dark-eyed family). It is working toward an explanation of how the first life appeared on earth. It is offering knowledge that may lead to the cure of cancer. And it came along just in time to warn against misuse of another young science: nuclear physics. The comparative "cleanness" (low fallout) of the test bombs that the U.S. was exploding in the Pacific last week was in large part a response to the warnings...
...with the Grand Challenge Cup, overlooked the heavily muscled Russians, who brought the same crew that narrowly lost to Cornell last year. Through a torrential thunderstorm Russia's Trud Club crew chopped off a snappy 37 strokes to the minute that gave them an immediate three-quarter-length lead. The Huskies started at 38, flagged to 31, lost by 1½ lengths. The rain-soaked Huskies glomped off to their tent without congratulating the victors. Then the Russians trounced the Leichkardt Rowing Club of Australia in the finals by 2½ lengths. Only U.S. consolation: Harvard 150-lb. lightweights...
...gate pulled away and the race began, Del Miller watched unhappily from the clubhouse. His mood changed fast. As the pacers whipped past the three-quarter mark, his O'Brien Hanover was in the lead with Thorpe Hanover close behind. Only a final burst to second place by Tommy Winn's Flying Time marred a straight one-two finish for Miller's Tar Heel colts. Their first and third took $67,310.62 of the total purse. Also in the money in fourth and fifth place: Adios' sons Raider Frost and Adios Paul. Quipped the New York...
...Anglican Communion knelt five rows deep on a crimson carpet to receive the blessing of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Bowed under the weight of his damask robes and overshadowed by a huge silver cross, Geoffrey Francis Fisher intoned: "We humbly beseech thee that thy Holy Spirit may lead into truth thy servants the bishops gathered together in thy name. Grant them grace to think and do such things as shall most tend to thy glory and the good of thy holy church." Thus last week opened the ninth (since 1867) Lambeth Conference, which every decade brings together the world...
...biggest steelmakers seemed in no rush to hike prices. U.S. Steel said only that it was "studying" Alan Wood's move: so were Bethlehem Steel, Youngstown Sheet & Tube, Armco Steel and Jones & Laughlin, which added that it would not raise prices until U.S. Steel took the lead. Said Big Steel's Chairman Roger M. Blough: "Our immediate conclusion is not to attempt to change our prices until the situation is clarified." When that might be, added Blough: "We cannot forecast." But for years, steel prices have climbed, along with boosts in minimum wages (see chart), cost-of-living...
