...discipline. Biggest beneficiary: M.I.T. ($9,275,000), now developing a curriculum focused on science-core courses that cut across traditional departmental lines. Ford thus hopes, explained Foundation President Henry T. Heald, to encourage engineering schools to impart "a thorough understanding of science and mathematics, their frontiers, and how they may be applied to the needs of mankind...
Last week the rectors of West Germany's universities, which still recognize East German degrees, gave notice that soon they may give up. Sternly, the rectors rejected invitations to join Leipzig's birthday celebration, which to them seemed only a wake. Leipzig's rector, a complaisant agriculturist named Georg Mayer who took over in 1948, seemed undismayed by the widening gap between his institution and those of West Germany.

They have dived into propellers, smashed against expensive radomes, causing about $300,000 damage a year. Far worse is the ever-present danger that a Midway albatross may someday really clobber a $6,000,000 plane and cause a fatal crackup...
...Beltsville substance is so new to chemists that it has not yet been analyzed or even named. But it is a major discovery in basic knowledge, may lead to bigger crops grown faster, and to control over harvesting times. "It's as if we had been hitting a carburetor with a hammer for years in an attempt to adjust it," says Dr. Hendricks. "Discovering this pigment is like learning that a screw on the bottom of the carburetor is what regulates...
When it goes on the air in January 1961, the new station will operate on a very low frequency band (14 to 30 kilocycles), sending out radio waves up to one mile long audible to surface ships and shore stations around the world. It may be utilized experimentally to try out the new Tepee scatter-back system for detecting missile firings in Russia. But specifically, it should be capable of sending orders to subs operating under the surface of the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. The Navy says that the signals will reach "deep down." Best estimate is that they...
