...Europe, but on a scale far below that which the State Department deems a rock-bottom minimum. Representative Taber, Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, is not convinced that France and Italy need help.

When the great new "synchrocyclotron" at the University of California was first turned on last fall, a powerful beam of unidentified radiation shot from its circular chamber. It slammed through a foot of lead, losing only half its strength. The physicists found that the beam was made up of high energy neutrons (nuclear particles with no electric charge).

Its sentiments are eminently correct for the movies, with one exception.
