That evening, at a state banquet in Copenhagen's Christian-borg Castle, Dr. Schweitzer met another Nobelman, Denmark's aging (74) Atomic Physicist Niels Bohr, for the first time. Seated together, the two talked seriously, reportedly found themselves in complete agreement that nuclear test explosions should be stopped...
...Lunik III soared on, Soviet scientists waxed confident, began to loosen up about its objectives. Leningrad Physicist Lev Ponayeton said that data from the unseen side of the moon will help determine its shape and distribution of mass, which will be of tremendous help to manned space flights. Semi-official science reporters went farther, predicted that Lunik III would transmit actual photographs of the other side of the moon. Official scientists did not mention photographs, but it was significant that they launched their rocket at a time when most of the far side of the moon was in sunlight. Presumably...

Their hope is to bring together (in six workshops, with a total capacity of 48 people) "the physicist and the economist, the astronomer and the humanist, the historian and the classicist." In addition to having this interdisciplinary character, the Riesman workshops will differ from the others in seeking out a variety of intelligence-levels. Whereas most of the tutorial-type workshops will be geared to "exceptional students," Riesman...
...Susanne Rudolph. Mrs. Lee has outlined one likely project, to which people of all interests could make distinctive contributions. This is a discussion of "field theory," of the relationship (or "transaction") between the student and the material he studies. In the course of such a discussion, the physicist could relate the special problems of work in his own field--and likewise the historian, the anthropologist the archaeologist, and so forth...
