...physicists argued eagerly, why shouldn't other lordly laws bite the dust too? Even gravitation, supposed to be pretty well explained by Einstein's general relativity, might be vulnerable. Last week the top award ($1,000) of the Gravity Research Foundation, New Boston, N.H. went to a paper by Physicist Philip Morrison of Cornell and Astronomer Thomas Gold of Harvard which argues that somewhere in the universe there may be anti-gravitation as a property of antimatter...

At another end of the building, chief Journal Photographer Eric Groething, 32, raised his camera over his head and warned four angry men who had backed him against a wall: "The first...
...more at odds than ever with his fellow pundits over the budget. The New York Herald Tribune's Ike-minded Roscoe Drummond said that the President "is fighting the wrong battle on the wrong ground with the wrong weapons." Stewart Alsop, also of Lawrence's home paper, the Trib, said: "The betting is still that Congress will do to the popular Eisenhower what it never dared to do to the unpopular Truman-hack away at his whole foreign policy program with a meat ax all along the line." Fair-Dealing Doris Fleeson even started one column: "The President...
