According to Dr. Hughes, Russian scientists admit openly that the U.S. is ahead in basic physics research. They look up to U.S. physicists and use translations of U.S. textbooks in advanced nuclear physics. They reprint 10,000 to 15,000 copies of the Physical Review in English. Almost all Russian scientists have to know English, says Hughes, to keep up with science in English-speaking countries. He thinks that he was invited to lecture in Russia because the Russians knew that "they weren't doing too much, and wanted to do more...
...McCarthy for a satiric soliloquy, thrice peppered Jimmy ("Public Enemy No. 1") Hoffa, cudgeled Yugoslavia's Tito and the New York City board of education, ranged more or less merrily from the World Series to San Marino to Jayne Mansfield's bedipitus. Other dewatermelonization steps: ¶ reprint of a radio essay by CBS Commentator Eric Sevareid reflecting on the recent sad decline of quality in the Herald Tribune, and his hopes for a return to its "old heritage." ¶ A well-pruned letters column in a freshened format that substitutes breeze for wind. ¶ "They Say" an occasional...

Inside Almi found a foreword by Uttar Pradesh's Governor Kanialal M. Munshi, director of the Bombay firm which published the book in India, praising it as "worthwhile reading." He also found a biography of Mohammed with the following...
...compendium for the common, or musically uneducated music lover. The famed Dr. Johnson waggishly defined a lexicographer as "a harmless drudge." Scholes makes no attempt to refute the gibe, in fact rather proudly points to some of his own drudgery; e.g., he meticulously checked numberless musical scores rather than reprint other men's findings, with the "minor" result that he explains and translates "probably a greater number of musical directions than that in any previous publication...
