...traps record both intensity and duration of the flash. Electric-eye cameras reveal the number of separate pulses within a single stroke. Another device (the fulchronograph) clocks the quickest stroke and measures the amount of current. Its heart is an ever-turning aluminum wheel, with hundreds of small strips of magnet steel projecting from its rim. Lightning, when it strikes, creates an electrical field in coils which magnetize the strips. When the fins are removed in the laboratory their magnetism is measured, gives the strength of the stroke charted...
...troubles. He commits a blind, almost reflex act of near murder, which is forestalled only by the suicide of his intended victim. On trial for the murder he did not commit, the morally outraged schoolmaster speaks out at length against the Nazis, and further proceeds in open court to reveal his love for Louise Martin. He is condemned, not by the civil jury, but by the enemy military commander, for opposition to the New Order...

...pendent, apart from other phenomena, do not satisfy the scientists' yearning for fundamental unity. The mathematical struggle is not to handle them in practical terms, nor to add further dimensions to space-time in order to account for them; it is to devise a mathematical treatment that will reveal their unity with the world of space, time, matter and energy. Schrödinger has found this in an "affine" geometry, which deals with pure concepts in their essence, not with measurement in the ordinary sense. He now claims to have "unified" gravitation with electromagnetic fields...
...symphony was prefaced by an "elaborate pronouncement." May I quote what Mr. Harris actually had to say about his symphony's relationship to "life, destiny and the U.S. soil": "I hoped to express qualities of our people which our popular dance music, because of its very nature, cannot reveal. Our people are more than pleasure-loving. We also have qualities of heroic strength-determination-will to struggle-faith in our destiny. We are possessed of a fierce driving power-optimistic, young, rough and ready-and I am convinced that our mechanistic age has not destroyed an appreciation of more...
