...work in romantic terms: "First and foremost, astronomy is an adventure--an intellectual adventure, but also an aesthetic adventure. Everyone can participate in one way or another." Field says, "Humanity loves astronomy--it's the wonder aspect. People don't wonder about bacteria, or the structure of the nucleus. It's a very primitive thing. I can't explain it, but it seems to be real...
...shower of praise, the master builder of this exercise in high style rates top honors. British Director Frank Dunlop (Sherlock Holmes, Scapino) has assembled in the borough of Brooklyn the kind of radiant acting company that Robert Morley promises to U.S. tourists who fly to London. This is the nucleus of an American counterpart to the Royal Shakespeare Company or the British National Theater. Let us pray for its robust survival. T.E. Kalem

Amin's Kampala is not quite what the Afro-Arabs had in mind. But, as one Arab League official put it, "a lot can happen in three years...
...quantum mechanics of the '30s, formulated by Schroedinger, Heisenberg and others, made astonishingly successfuly predictions about such atoms. Physicists turned their attention from the atom to the nucleus...
...force holding the nucleus together was still an enigma. Theoretically, a nucleus should fly apart since it is composed of identically charge particles. The gravitational attraction of two protons is negligible when compared to their electric, or electromagnetic, repulsion. In fact, atomic nuclei are very tightly bound. Confronted with an otherwise successful theory and this apparent empirical contradiction, physicists simply invented another force, which protons and neutrons feel, but to which electrons are immune. Because it is so strong, they named it the "strong" force...
