With the season exactly one third over, the regular first line of Captain Dave Key, Carman, and Bill Garrity leads ni total scoring, with 32 points on 16 goals and 16 assists. In the light-blinking department, Doug Anderson is high man with eight goals. He has also registered two assists. Best playmaker so far has been the former Exeter center, Miles Huntington, who has been operating on the same line with Dave Abbot for the past five years, here and previously at Exeter. He has set up eight goals this winter, while scoring five himself...
Last week Dr. George B. Collins of the University of Rochester announced that he has developed an automatic scintillation counter with an electronic eye. Dr. Collins uses a disc of anthracene (a coal tar product that is kin to the naphthalene in mothballs). The disc gives off flashes of light when atomic particles shoot through it. Dr. Collins does nothing so crude as to watch the flashes of light with his eye and a microscope. He pipes the light through a Lucite rod into a photomultiplier tube that can count as many as 100,000 flashes a second...
...cyclotron, man's first atom-smasher, is apparently most dangerous when it is just starting its first magnetic merry-go-round and still needs adjusting. The deadly neutrons give no warning; there is no sensation of light, heat or pressure; the effect may not be felt for years. But the neutrons can cause cataracts much like those that sometimes form with old age. One difference is that cyclotron cataracts are on the back of the lens...
...grey plains and squat, nubble-knuckled figures of his earlier years in favor of a tropically brilliant, anatomically believable world that blazes with sunshiny yellows and royal-purple shadows. But though he has changed the colors of his palette, he has not changed his political colors. The clear new light in Portinari's newest murals-including that of the Tooth-Puller-does more than please the eye; it makes Portinari, who says he paints "to teach my people what is wrong," an increasingly vivid teacher...
...form of melodrama in itself. In piling up too many motives, in piling on too much horror, the play loses its impact. The characters get to be much less human beings than mere Existencils; the ideas lack value because Sartre insists on using them as bombs rather than light bulbs. For all its intellectualism, The Victors is so crammed to the brim with lurid scenes and dated dramaturgy that there is a strange air about it of the Franco-Prussian...
