...wonder of the world. The company's triumphant London visit three years ago (TIME, Oct. 15, 1956) marked its first appearance on a Western stage. Last week, amid box office uproar (see SHOW BUSINESS), Impresario Sol Hurok finally welcomed the Bolshoi to Manhattan for the start of a nine-week cross-continent tour. The long-awaited look was not a disappointment. But, as with many such wonders, the anticipation was somewhat more exciting than the actuality. In the initial performances at least, the visitors demonstrated a technique linked to a floridly Victorian style that was frozen on pointe some...
...nuclear charge is exploded 100 million miles from the earth, it will release all kinds of radiation at the same instant. According to relativity theory, the waves should still be traveling together when they reach the earth nine minutes later. But if gamma rays, for instance, prove to travel measurably faster than infrared through the vacuum of space, relativity, the supreme law of the universe, will have to be revised...
Working with Dr. Dietrich Hoffmann at Manhattan's Sloan-Kettering Institute, said Dr. Wynder, he has found in the tar no fewer than 17 hydrogen-carbon compounds of the polycyclic group (i.e., with several carbon rings in the molecule). Nine have been exonerated, but to the six already known to produce cancer on the backs of mice the Wynder-Hoffmann team has added two more-3.4-benzfluoranthene and 10.11-benzfluoranthene. But these chemicals occur only in minute quantities in cigarette...
Jerry Weed proved too much for the varsity baseball team yesterday, allowing only three hits and two runs as the Pennsylvania nine triumphed, 4 to 2, in a game called after seven innings because of darkness. This was the Crimson's third loss in a row and second defeat in the Eastern Intercollegiate Baseball League. Yesterday's failure blackened the varsity's hopes for winning the E.I.B.L. title, and may lead to a disappointing season for a team which showed much promise during its spring trip...
...smaller, at the same time the list of schools sending five or more students (including the bigger prep schools and the better public schools) has undergone a slight shift in favor of the private schools. Thirteen public schools contributed five or more boys to the Class of '58, only nine sent this many to '61. But in the same period, the number of prep schools sending five-man delegations rose from 19 to 25 (with 27 for the class of '60). Although public schools contributed more to '62 than to previous classes, there were more public schools in the running...
