...frets over floral settings and menus for even the smallest dinners, but the big ones bring out the best in her. Her extravaganzas are the talk of the Western world-a sunset cruise down the Potomac for 138, a floodlit lawn party at Mount Vernon, a roomtul of Nobel laureates waltzing over the parquet White House floors to the tem po of the Air Force's Strolling Strings...
...Nobel Plastic. Already associated with Montecatini in marketing pesticides in Italy and making plastics in The Netherlands, Shell is anxious to get in on the promising petrochemical industry in Italy. For one thing, Shell wants to make sure that all the Italian petrochemical business does not eventually go to E.N.I., the state oil and gas monopoly that the big oil companies heartily dislike. In Montecatini, Shell will also have a good Italian outlet for its own crude...
...whose tireless activities range through varied fields, from scientific administration to advising the Government, the prize was presumably recognition of a lifetime of accomplishment. But Nobel committees tend to focus on the specific, and Wigner was cited for early theoretical work on the structure of the atomic nucleus and his early recognition of the shattering implications of quantum mechanics...
...only woman besides Marie Curie to win (1903) a Nobel physics prize, Mrs. Mayer was honored for research showing that atomic nuclei are built of onionlike layers of neutrons and protons held together by complicated forces. This concept, paralleling work by Professor Jensen, replaced the idea that the nucleus resembles a liquid drop, and it explained many nuclear properties...
Chemical Trickery. This year's Nobel Prize in chemistry was split between Director Karl Ziegler of the Max Planck Institute for Coal Research in Mülheim, West Germany, and Professor Giulio Natta of the Polytechnic Institute of Milan, Italy. Both men were among the first to recognize the potentialities of macromolecules-the aggregations of thousands of atoms that play an ever-increasing part in modern chemical industry. Some macromolecules, such as the cellulose molecules in cotton or wood, are formed by nature. Others must be formed by chemical trickery. Drs. Ziegler and Natta developed practical methods by which...
