...Flesh. In London, the Anglican magazine Prism urged an investigation of British-made horror movies, but mildly suggested that nudist movies cannot long tempt the faithful, because sitting through bare-skin epics "produces a tedium so oppressive that it seems impossible that they can do harm: rather, they seem to give a hint of the timelessness of hell...
...Dreams. The moon pictures released so far look fuzzy, but experts consider them extraordinarily good, considering the fantastic difficulty of getting them at all. To laymen, the moon's far side, long populated by storytellers with strange beasts and weird civilizations, looks disappointingly like its visible side. But astronomers find it surprisingly different. They point to the comparative lack of the big, roundish, dark "seas" that are so common on its known face. The area newly pictured shows only one really big sea, which the Russians named the Sea of Dreams. A smaller sea they named...
This year's Nobel Prize in physics (worth $42,606) went last week to two professors of the University of California at Berkeley, Emilio Segre, 54, and Owen Chamberlain, 39. In 1955 they headed a team that found the long-sought antiprotons, key particles of the stranger-than-fiction world of antimatter (TIME, Oct. 31, 1955 et seq.). Antiprotons, which the Segre-Chamberlain team identified in a beam of subatomic debris created by Berkeley's 6.2-billion-volt bevatron, have the mass of ordinary protons but carry negative electric charges instead of positive charges. When a proton hits...
...Hearst and Scripps-Howard news, paper chains to carve up their markets." Continued the Guildsmen: "Now more than 600,000 subscribers of the Hearst Journal-American . . . may soon be deprived of their favorite newspaper, despite denials. The Hearst Journal-American thus would give its 1,500 faithful employees of long service Christmas presents in the form of dismissal notices...
With that sort of talk, it could not be long before the Havana mob went after Dubois. Last week, as he sat writing a story in the downtown office of the American Cable & Radio Co., the throng appeared. Came the chant: "Do we want Fidel?" The answer: "Yes!" The question: "Do we want Dubois?" The answer: "No! To the firing squad!" Ducking out a rear door, Dubois was picked up by a military guard, led through the howling, spitting mob to a taxi and safety at the Havana Hilton Hotel. Back in his room, Dubois made light of the danger...
