...clay tablets found in the ruins of King Minos' palace at Knossos, Crete, and on the supposed site of King Nestor's palace near Pylos on the Greek mainland long provided archaeology with one of its most tantalizing mysteries. The tablets bore two scripts which scholars call Linear A and Linear B. But it was not until 1952-more than half a century after the Crete discovery -that Michael Ventris, British architect and cryptographer, broke Linear B, announced that its 87 "signs" closely paralleled Greek syllables (TIME, April 19, 1954). But what about Linear A? Even Ventris...
...years he has played with a lot of big outfits-Boyd Raeburn, Jimmy Dorsey, Woody Herman, Buddy Rich, Garwood Van, Spade Cooley. When Giuffre got out of the Army, he enrolled at the University of Southern California, became interested in Bartok, Hindemith, Shostakovich, Prokofiev. He began to write "linear" music, in which he tried to keep the rhythm section ("It should be felt rather than heard") from conflicting with other instruments. As he sees it, the drums and bass ought to play melody too, not just accompaniment, and then give way to the others. ''Each...

Called Hilac (heavy ion linear accelerator), the Berkeley machine is 112 ft. long and about 10 ft. in diameter. Instead of hurling protons, deuterons and other light bits of atomic chaff, it uses as its projectiles such comparatively heavy elements as nitrogen (atomic weight 14) and neon (atomic weight 20), which have effects that are different from those of smaller projectiles...
...heat, pulleys, weights and other equipment for limbering up disabled joints are manned by physical therapists, who make house calls. The therapists give treatment and advise the family on how to continue it. ij Stanford University radiologists reported hopefully on one year's use of the first linear accelerator built for medical purposes: a 6,000,000-volt unit, it generates electrons in a straight line, fires them at precious-metal targets to produce X-rays that can be focused sharply on cancers deep in the body. Of 74 patients treated, with a variety of tumors in the throat...
