...Genesis. When Hubble finished his "velocity-distance" law, he might have sat back (but probably did not) to marvel at his accomplishment. He had formulated the very first rule, buttressed with observation, that explained the behavior of every major unit in the visible universe. Other men (including Einstein) had theorized about the universe, using their minds as telescopes. Hubble had evolved his theory by looking at the universe itself...
...among us truly amazed that one John G. Winant could no longer endure this age [TIME, Nov. 10]? The marvel is that many more of us have not taken the same way out. We have lived through ten years of hell-the most diabolical "witches' sabbath" ever put on since the beginning of recorded time. Thirty million people, men, women & children, have been starved, tortured, shot, blown to bits, frozen, gassed*-murdered by every conceivable method of fiendish cruelty -mostly at the hands of "civilized, enlightened, cultured, progressive, democratic Christian nations." And the end is not yet. We have...

The propulsion engineers used the power of 50 locomotives to drive the four screws, each 20 feet across and weighing 35 tons, which...
...Mormonism itself; to most U.S. citizens Salt Lake City is a "tourist attraction." When Mormons observe their Utah Centennial next week with parades, dances, music, speeches and religious services, thousands of non-Mormons will crowd the bunting-hung streets. They will stare at the multi-towered Mormon Temple, marvel at the acoustical wonders of that famed and enormous Quonset hut, the Mormon Tabernacle, where the Mormon choir thunders out hymns. But what will most awe them will be the spectacular manifestations of Mormon diligence and industry...
...tolerance with indifference to right and wrong, truth and error; he will spread the lie that men will never be better until they make society better and thus have selfishness to provide fuel for the next revolution ; he will foster science but only to have armament makers use one marvel of science to destroy another; he will foster more divorces under the disguise that another partner is 'vital'; he will invoke religion to destroy religion; he will even speak of Christ and say that he was the greatest man who ever lived; his mission, he will say, will...
