...dispose of atomic waste is to use it. By reprocessing, some of it can be turned into isotopes for use in medicine, agriculture and industry. A reprocessing plant is already being set up at Oak Ridge. And the House Committee on Science and Astronautics last week reported on another use for atomic wastes: inserted in modified grenades, leftovers from nuclear reactors could be lobbed across enemy lines.

Another Tangible is a tower of aluminum rings suspended at artful intervals on almost invisible wires. Vibration makes the rings spin and lift like a quicksilver ballet. Plinth (see cut) carries sound as well as motion...
