Last year Cornell University's brilliant, Alsatian-born atomic theorist, Professor Hans Albrecht Bethe, trotted out a plausible explanation of how the sun converts hydrogen into radiant energy, and so keeps on shining (TIME, Feb. 27, 1939). At temperatures above 15,000,000° C. (the sun's internal temperature is calculated at 20,000,000° C.), Dr. Bethe found that hydrogen atoms would attack carbon. The carbon would be transmitted into other forms, but after a series of six separate atomic conversions, it would reappear, while hydrogen atoms (of which the sun has enough to last...

Baby Peter (whom directors have trouble making cry) watched the picture closely, howled...
...picture of Paul V. ("Snow White") McNutt on a pamphlet issued by Indiana's Unemployment Compensation Administration. Beneath picture & caption appeared a chart showing the McNutt rise from law school dean in 1925 to Legion Commander in 1928, Governor in 1933, Philippine High Commissioner in 1937, to a radiant White House in 1941. Candidate McNutt, now Federal Security Administrator charged with supervising expenses of State unemployment insurance systems, forgave his overzealous friends but, embarrassed by talk in the U. S Senate, ordered the Indiana board's Federal funds cut by the amount the pamphlet's printing cost...
