Your chart of religious ramifications, captioned "Christian Chaos (Simplified)," was most interesting as well as informative. But I looked in vain for the two of distinctly American origin-the Church of the Latter-Day Saints (Joseph Smith, founder) and the Church of Christ, Scientist (Mary Baker Eddy, founder...
Science Writer Jack Leonard is too tall for his job. In this day of jet fighters and radar, when a scientist's work may soon be tested in the cockpit, Leonard has trouble folding his 6 ft. 2 frame inside some places where he finds his stories...
...producing piles at Hanford. After the war, he was a senior officer at Harwell, the British atomic research center. Pontecorvo, whose brother and sister were lifelong Communists, might have been betraying reactor data from 1943 on, the committee guessed. He was rated by some colleagues as an even abler scientist than Fuchs. After Fuchs, said the committee, "Pontecorvo may be plausibly rated as the second deadliest betrayer . . . Certain it is that Russia today possesses nuclear reactors...
...prime sources of information. There were minor spies and subsidiary nets in the Soviet apparatus.* On the Pacific coast, Communist Steve Nelson, now under indictment for contempt of Congress, organized a cell in the radiation laboratory at the University of California at Berkeley. Another ring operated around Chicago with Scientist Clarence Hiskey (also under indictment for contempt) as a chief contact. In New York, Yakovlev directed the activities of Courier Harry Gold, in his pickups from Fuchs and from Alfred Dean Slack (now serving 15 years for espionage), who gave Gold a sample of a new explosive called...
...processes, (e.g., urea, long-chain alcohols), won 18 patents, most of them used by Du Pont. It was Greenewalt's work on nylon-the biggest treasure yet turned up in Du Pont test tubes-which put him far up on the skimmer chart. Du Pont's brilliant scientist, Dr. Wallace Carothers, first materialized the nylon fiber by finding a way to simulate the long-chain molecules found naturally in silk. But it was Greenewalt's patient five-year nursing, from test tube to pilot plant, that helped bring nylon to mass production in 1939, put his feet...
