...interpreted to mean that Harvard College is, as they would wish it to be, producing a larger number of college instructors. The fact is that last year saw an increase of 6 per cent in the number of seniors planning to attend graduate schools of arts and sciences, the normal preparation for a teaching career, and that the greatest increase is found in the non-technical fields of study. Dean Leighton also points to a recent report that the largest number of college teachers in America are Harvard Ph.D's. But whether or not there is a long-range trend...
...biographical and internal evidence that Genet has lived his life in the moral and physical world that Deathwatch portrays), but if so they are inarticulate and he is their voice. Genet can give us a new conception of the capabilities of the human soul. He is utterly different from normal, decent people, and that is his importance...
Elsewhere, Democrats nibbled away at isolated Republican districts to add to the gains they started with last month's Maine election. In New York they picked up a seat apiece in the normal Republican strongholds of Buffalo and Schenectady; in Kentucky's Third District (Louisville) State Legislator Frank W. Burke, 38, defeated John M. Robsion, who went to Washington six years ago on Dwight Eisenhower's coattails...
...three-day period last week. Los Angeles' health officer, Dr. George Uhl. wondered and worried as his Geiger counters showed a steady rise in the atmosphere's radioactivity level. At midweek a brisk high-altitude wind, blowing from Nevada, brought radioactivity from a test shot above normal safety levels, sent Health Officer Uhl round to see Los Angeles' Mayor Norris Poulson. Poulson phoned the AEC in Washington, finally got through to AECommissioner Willard Libby, was assured that 1) the fallout level was not dangerous at all; 2) the Nevada test series was almost complete...
Beadle and Tatum irradiated masses of mold with X rays and searched for mutations in the spores. On the 299th try they got a mold that would not grow unless it was fed vitamin B-6 (pyridoxine). The normal mold makes vitamin B-6 for itself. They traced this deficiency to an X-ray-damaged gene that failed to produce the necessary enzyme (organic catalyst) for producing B6. This provided a means of studying genetic changes by corresponding changes in the organism's ability or failure to produce specific chemicals-thus giving genetics a new exactness and turning...
