Patterson did not mention the rest of Ted Wyman's gaudy career. For his "meritorious and distinguished service in Hawaii," he got the D.S.M. Then he was assigned to the ill-fated Canol Project and the Alcan Highway. At the request of the Canadian Government he was removed. But he stayed on the job in Canada long enough to be officially reprimanded for "failure to enforce safety regulations" after one of his contractors' trucks exploded, killing eleven men and destroying a third of the town of Dawson Creek...
Muscovite workmen were busy last week behind the Kremlin's walls. Foreign correspondents, on a rare sightseeing trip, saw signs of a thoroughgoing restoration project.* The nine gilded, onion-shaped domes of the Cathedral of the Annunciation, stripped of their camouflage paint, shone in the October sun.

The collateral discoveries of the Manhattan Project, said Baker, totted up to around 5,000 new products, procedures and devices.

Nearby stand two white-painted Sherman...
...into each other's war research, it was obvious that the Russians had been in no position to match the vast U.S. work on the atomic bomb. Yet Physicist Langmuir thought that in less than ten years the U.S.S.R. would certainly be able to carry out a "Manhattan Project...
