Evidence introduced at the recent meeting of the American Astronomical Society here has cast doubt on conclusions drawn in 1914 by Percival Lowell '76 which later led to the discovery of the planet Pluto...
...most part of many very agreeable musical pieces linked together by a singularly loose thread of plot. This plot centers less on Orpheus, represented as a violinist with a vast distaste for Eurydice, than on Jupiter's attempts to get her away from the tender mercies of her kidnaper, Pluto, so that he may have her for his own tender mercies. Jupiter's efforts are complicated by a revolution on the part of the lesser gods, who are bored with the food in heaven. The proceedings have been rendered into generally amusing English by Wayne Shirley, who translated the lyrics...
...Eurydice, proves herself the best singer in the show with a soprano that has both power and range. Though she seems less sure of herself during the spoken passages, her acting is, on the whole, quite equal to the demands which opera imposes. Malcolm Ticknor makes a properly suave Pluto, and is by far the most capable male singer in the production. His voice is pure and his delivery carries authority...
...more traps-the screen erupted into a chaos of snaps, pings and pongs. The mousetraps were the brightest touch in a lucid, hour-long primer, mostly in cartoons, tracing the story of atomic energy from Democritus to Rickover. The title ominously suggested that the show might smack more of Pluto than plutonium, but apart from small blemishes, e.g., giving a Russian accent to the villainous genie in the illustrative fable of the genie-in-the-vessel, the lesson was straightforward, cleverly taught and free of the cuteness with which some TV educators have patronized the mass audience...
When the artificial satellite takes to the sky some time next year, it will probably meet no opposition from natural satellites. This is the tentative conclusion of Astronomer Clyde W. Tombaugh, discoverer of Pluto, who has searched nearby space for three years for the Army Office of Ordnance Research. In some ways the news is good news for spacemen. Even a very small satellite would be unpleasant to meet. In other ways, Tombaugh's report is disappointing. A small, nearby satellite of the earth might be handy as a space base. It would certainly be useful as a point...
