Unfortunately, it usually seems that her material is not on a par with her talents, and such is the case in "Along Fifth Avenue." It may always be the case since apparently the only ones to complain are the reviewers who have to say something anyhow. There is one really hilarious sketch in which she appears as a salesman for a torrid perfume whose motto is "When Nature Fumbles, We Carry the Ball." In most of the other skits she has little to do: in one she stands behind a restaurant counter and pushes a pie in a customer...
...agreement is reached for the use of "Harvard" in the title and throughout the script, the movie will deal "factually" with the activities of the department, Dr. Alan R. Moritz, Francis Glessner Lee Professor of Legal Medicine, said last night, although advance rumors suggest that Hollywood may treat it as a "crime clinic...
Variable stars, says Stanley-Jones, may work the same way. When the star is in ai normal quiescent condition, its heavy fissionable atoms are too far apart for a chain reaction to get started. Being heavy, they sink gradually toward the center of the star. As they sink, they approach one another. When they get close enough, a chain reaction is set off. Its heat and radiation make the star expand until the fissionable materials in it are too far apart to react any more...
Physicist Dean B. Cowie, 28, was standing about two feet away from the new cyclotron at Carnegie Institution of Washington. The date was Dec. 31, 1943. Unexpectedly, the cyclotron worked on its first trial. Cowie was hit by a charge of neutrons that may have been as much as 15 million volts. In spite of three operations, he is now blind in one eye. He can barely see out of the other, but hopes it will improve after an operation...
...cyclotron, man's first atom-smasher, is apparently most dangerous when it is just starting its first magnetic merry-go-round and still needs adjusting. The deadly neutrons give no warning; there is no sensation of light, heat or pressure; the effect may not be felt for years. But the neutrons can cause cataracts much like those that sometimes form with old age. One difference is that cyclotron cataracts are on the back of the lens...
