Although this new type of meteor formation differs from the standard from of origin and orbit, the astronomers could find no other variations after examining the formation by both telescope and radar...
...sound fighting ship; the question was how to use it. At first, mistakes were made. While the destroyers went out futilely chasing U-boats in the Atlantic, the U-boats had a field day sinking unescorted Allied ships. The picture changed with improved technique (e.g., the improved use of radar, coordination of air and surface weapons) and the firm policy of destroyer-escorted convoys. Soon, hunter-killer teams of destroyers, destroyer-escorts and carrier-based aircraft had turned the tables on the U-boat wolf packs. By 1945, two U-boats were being sunk for every torpedoed Allied ship. Destroyers...
Andrew J. Reid, chief intelligence agent at Fort Monmouth, testified that in 1946 a guard caught Coleman leaving the radar laboratories with secret documents. Coleman was asked if he had other such papers at home. "At first, he denied it," said Reid. "The second time, he said 'maybe.' and the third time, he said 'yes.'

He answered: "Nemini delatorum fides abrogata."* Then he added wryly: "My answer also includes a citation from the Fifth Amendment." McCarthy, who knows a good performer when he sees one, was almost tolerant of Mins...
...four faculty-men may have been Communists. But "what justice is done to the really typical member of the Harvard faculty, to the 2,900 or more others who are our true representatives-including the men who invented the iron lung, those on whose researches in atomic energy ... in radar and sonar ... the late military effort so largely depended; Dr. Cohn and his fractionation of blood and all the lives saved because of his researches ... or Harvard's six Nobel Prizewinners; and most important perhaps of all, the humanists whose efforts [bring] us into fresh awareness of new reaches...
