...months later, his telescope locked in the same position, the astronomer will return to Khartoum and photograph the same star field in the night sky. Comparison of the stars' positions in the two pictures should illustrate the "Einstein Shift," give man one more glimpse into the mechanics of the universe...
...studied at Johns Hopkins and at the University of Berlin, had finally settled himself into his life's work in Baltimore. The field that interested him most at the time was the problem of light. He wrote more than 250 technical papers, developed a way to photograph with ultraviolet rays, pioneered in the study of infrared. He built the largest spectroscope in the world, and his work with diffraction gratings, which could divide the spectrum into 1,000 shades, revolutionized much of astronomy and physics research. His Physical Optics became the classic work in the field; his experiments achieved...
...Goodman states that he is "not concerned" about the futures of the Russian soldiers photographed with him. No one with any intelligence would hold two ordinary conscripts responsible for Communist policies or actions. Mr. Goodman has repaid their friendship, even if gained by deceit, by rendering them liable to disciplinary action.

William Prince makes him seem any pleasant young man rather than a talented writer...

On Wednesday, he had recovered sufficiently to join some 500 other TV actors at Broadway's Maxine Elliott Theater, where he won the audition for a role in this week's CBS show Danger. Thursday, dressed as a cowboy, he posed for a photograph scheduled to appear in Look magazine. Friday, he turned artisan and spent the day soldering together metal frames for hoop skirts that will be worn by the Rockettes of Radio City's Music Hall in their Christmas show...
