...modern physician . . . is annoyed if a patient asks about a recent medical advance reported in LIFE or TIME which he has not heard about, since he did not read LIFE or TIME first! He has little time to read, less time to reflect and almost no time to re-evaluate goals...
Fairlie became so enamored of the Post that when he returned to England, he had the paper delivered every day. "The postman, laboring under the load, did not like it. But I formed a taste for American newspapers." By and large, he says, U.S. and British papers reflect their countries: "One earnestly involved in the business of power, the other resigned to watching from the sidelines...

By rotating the grating to a carefully calculated angle, the scientists were able to reflect light of a single, specific wave length at a target. Knowing the wave length, they were able to determine precisely the energy of the photons-or bits of light-they were using...
