...Manner & Tone. Dulles, McCone, Herter, et al. were so impressed that they urged Hubert Humphrey to arrange another session to brief State Department, CIA and AEC second-stringers not only on his conversations with Khrushchev but on the techniques of "informal diplomacy" while abroad. Next morning Humphrey went to the White House, spent more than an hour with Dwight Eisenhower, reported that Khrushchev had told him that the Soviet Union has a five-megaton nuclear weapon that employs only one-tenth as much "dirty" fissionable triggering material as old bombs, although U.S. intelligence has picked up no evidence that...
...soon switched to physics. His first big administrative task after World War II: organizing the successor to the institute's wartime Radiation Laboratory, which had been chiefly responsible for the development of radar, under a new title-the Research Laboratory of Electronics. He became known for a quiet manner, for almost painfully earnest efforts to resolve clashing points of view, and for a broad understanding of how to bridge the shifting boundaries between scientific disciplines...

Haydn's last symphony, No. 104, in D Major had at least the benefit of a spirited, well-played finale. But the rest of it, and Corelli's "Christmas" Concerto, which opened the concert sounded as if the orchestra were merely going through the motions. The intonation was unaccountably bad, the playing colorless, and the ensemble work...
