Sirs: May 23 Letters inexcusably maligns scientists, apropos their ready remarriage and hypothetical helplessness. Myself and scientist friends have built our own houses. We can do plumbing, carpentry, electric wiring and painting. We have sold merchandise, bought stock, and written copy. We raise vegetables and live stock as well as children; can cook, keep house and nurse the sick. Perhaps a few professors of now-scientific subjects are inept, but as for scientists, they look like hardware dealers, work like millwrights and catch on like columnists. We can prove this by cases at Berkeley and Stanford as well as here...
...concrete issues at hand, rather than the mere following of precedent. It should be realized that comparative judgment of men in different stages of development is impossible. Further, the extent to which a man would diversify the interests of a department must be considered. Lastly, since no university can live apart from society, it fits a department of economics to deal with what Taussig called "social applications or implications...
...idea of electronic magnification has been a live subject in physics for a decade. Foundations of the technique were laid down in Germany in 1926-27. Other work has been done in Belgium and in the U. S. by Dr. Clinton Joseph Davisson of Bell Telephone Laboratories, who won a Nobel Prize in physics last year for experimentally demonstrating the wave nature of electrons. Some years ago, Astronomer Francois Charles Henroteau of Ottawa's Dominion Observatory suggested that an electronic telescope (converting feeble starlight into electric current by means of photoelectric cells) could be built which would equal...
Significant for human beings who live in dusty cities, especially for those who work in dusty factories, mills or mines, were the conclusions of Dr. Barclay & associates. "Healthy lungs should have no difficulty in coping with the minute amounts that are inhaled in the most dusty atmospheres, provided the subject is given an adequate rest period away from these atmospheres." But people who live in damp and dirty cities have no such assurance, because ''it seems possible that a moist atmosphere might tend to agglomerate particles of suitable dusts, and turn them into a semifluid, which could interfere...
Three Comrades shows how three men can marry a girl at the same time without jealousy or any loss of the unbreakable ties binding them together. Erich (Robert Taylor) is the only one who goes to bed with Patricia (Margaret Sullavan). but his comrades, who need something to live for, marry her in spirit. Otto (Franchot Tone), most practical of the three, accepts the world as he finds it. Gottfried (Robert Young) wants to change it. He belongs to a political society, and when he is shot by a gunman of no particular party stripe, Otto avenges him with...
