...when Army hung onto a 12-7 lead until the final whistle. Next morning he fidgeted nervously outside the hotel waiting for a tardy officer, so eager was he to do a tour of the Point. He sat listening intently through a class lecture on military history (subject: Was Lee justified in his campaign at Antietam?), took the review of the parading corps of cadets in their tar-bucket hats and grey uniforms...
...year-old Merlyn Stuart Pitzele (pronounced Pit-sell-lee), the rewards of a lifetime in and around the labor movement have been considerable. A natty dresser and nifty talker, Pitzele is Business Week labor editor, was Dwight Eisenhower's labor adviser, served as Tom Dewey's New York State Mediation Board chairman. Last week, appearing in the McClellan committee's investigation of labor-relations Wheeler-Dealer Nathan Shefferman (TIME, Nov. 4), Mel Pitzele owned up to still another reward. While he was editing stories, advising Ike and mediating labor disputes, he was also collecting...
...Parity Killers. Two young Chinese living in the U.S., Drs. Chen Ning Yang and Tsung Dao Lee, split the Nobel physics prize for destroying the principle of "Conservation of Parity," on which a good deal of modern physics had been based. The principle says that objects which are mirror images of each other must obey the same physical rules. As Drs. Yang and Lee dug deep into the mysteries of the matter, they felt that they could not do without parity, but they found several basic things that could not be explained if parity were observed with full reverence...
They broke this impasse by proving theoretically that, in key cases, parity need not be observed. Neither Yang nor Lee is an experimental man; so they merely suggested how their theory might be proved. When two experimental proofs came through early this year, parity was dead, and the Nobel Prize was practically in the bag (TIME...
...Lee, 30, looks as if he might still be an undergraduate. He studied in various southern Chinese universities, but got no formal degrees. In 1946 he went to the University of Chicago on a Chinese government fellowship. He lived in International House with Dr. Yang, got his doctorate in 1950. A full professor of physics at Columbia University, Dr. Lee is now on leave to work at Princeton with Yang...
