...assumption of the biological homogeneity of any race is a fiction. Every race contains many family strain? which are biologically distinct. . . . The physiological and psychological behavior of the individual depends only in part upon his hereditary characteristics. These differ widely within every population and are strongly overlaid by outer, cultural influences which modify the hereditary traits. . . . Personality cannot be assumed to be determined by the so-called racial groups ... but is a matter that must be determined individually...
This pattern is not visible to the eye, nor when projected. But the light from a projector lamp is diverted by the aberration patterns into a conic shape that spreads out over the lens. Charles Birch-Field's iriscope adds the colors-reds in the outer regions of the lens, blues in the inner...
...between Rzhev and Vyazma. They cut the chief highway serving Rzhev. They cut two railways north and south of Velikie Luki. They took positions between Velikie Luki and the pivotal German strongpoint at Toropets. Artillery, tanks and infantry, including ski troops, within 48 hours had repeatedly broken through the outer line of the rectangle, flowed around the German's mighty fortress at Rzhev and all but isolated some 75,000 German troops there. Very near Rzhev, where Red Army troops had won a foothold last September, they attacked the suburbs of the city itself...
...General Zhukov began to apply it to the Red Army. Along with Timoshenko and Shaposhnikov, he braced up Red Army training, brought it as closely as possible to actual conditions of modern warfare.

Last week Dr. Pierre Auger, who discovered these showers at his Paris laboratory in 1938, gave a new theory of their origin to the American Physical Society, meeting at the University of Chicago. They do not come from outer space as electrons: that would require a million billion electron volts. More probably the original missile from the remote regions of the universe is a proton, a bare hydrogen nucleus moving at terrific velocity with energy of 200 million electron volts. When it strikes the earth's atmosphere it breaks up either by explosion or collision and, like an earthbound...
