...find, but he did find a pretty good one." At 3M, researchers have gone from ordinary tape to reflecting tape to reflecting "paint"-and from that to a new liquid called Velvet Coating, which absorbs light and is useful for glare-proofing signs. One tinkering scientist...
Pound was not the only scientist to wonder about the Principle of Equivalence. In November, 1962, Pound received a letter from V. P. Lyadov of Kazan State University in Russia. Lyadov, who predicted a ten per cent deviation from Einstein's Theory, postulated that acceleration and gravitation are two different things. Pound's new results support Einstein...
...Sulking. What admirers call his "orderly intellect" persuaded Manning to spurn Wall Street for faster progress with a big Cleveland law firm. In six years, he became not only a formidable young corporation lawyer, but also a part-time political scientist at Western Reserve University and a leading spirit of the Cleveland Metropolitan Service Commission. When Yale made him a law professor at 33, the Cleveland Plain Dealer lamented the departure of "a young man with an admirable civic conscience...
...wise to their game. In fact Newton and Einstein are secret agents-for the U.S. and the U.S.S.R., respectively-with orders to abduct King Solomon, a peerless physicist from an unnamed third country who has solved "the problem of gravitation." This invites some windy word slinging about how a scientist may best preserve his probity. Solomon convinces his colleagues that they should all stay in the madhouse, because "we physicists have to take back our knowledge." However, in an ironic finale that negates their decision, the scientists discover that "anything that is once thought cannot be unthought...

Now the university has adopted a radically different approach. Firmly backed by the president, the Very Rev. John R. Cortelyou, a noted comparative endocrinologist and the first natural scientist to head the school, Kreyche's department has just introduced four new philosophy courses that study Aquinas as a man to be boldly challenged, not a saint to be blindly followed...
