Speaking as a scientist," Fieser stated, "this filter represents a definite encouraging advance." He emphasized, however, that at least 20 years would have to lapse before mortality statistics of the type reviewed by the Surgeon General's committee would be available on the new filter...
...years (1952-62), twelve names sufficed to fill all three lists. And by most journalistic standards, the invariable third choice, the Christian Science Monitor, cannot properly be considered a daily newspaper. The Monitor's editorial policy is subject to the precepts of the Church of Christ, Scientist, which owns it. Nor does the paper bother to pay much respect to the despotic deadlines that rule the rest of the daily press...
...oddest graduate school in the U.S. is a far-out arm of the University of Chicago called the Committee on Social Thought. Physically, it is a dingy office under the eaves of the social science building. Its faculty, which includes Novelist Saul Bellow and Political Scientist Hannah Arendt, numbers only eleven. But its goal is as big as the world. While other graduate schools atomize knowledge, this one aims toward "a unification of knowledge and a revealing of the human being as a whole...
...respectable newspapers have science reporters now, but when Laurence's career began, such specialized journalists were rare. Good ones were rarer. Laurence not only reported science with exceptional competence but managed to be something of a scientist himself. A suggestion of his set Squibb Laboratories on the track that led to synthesis of the drug sulfadiazine. Another Laurence idea proposed a new avenue of cancer research.

Laurence did not entirely concur with this prediction, even though it came from Einstein. He has the scientist's habit of storing odd bits of information until they mesh, and by 1939 a pattern had begun to form. Routinely covering a scientific meeting at Columbia University that year, he carefully noted the heavy concentration of nuclear physicists and repeated allusions to "chain reaction," a phrase that meant little to him at the time. But by the following May, a story of his gave Times readers an advance look at the awesome energy packed into an isotope of uranium called...
