...refusing to cooperate with a subcommittee inquiring into labor racketeering, and 2) by assuring all officers that the union would not punish them for pleading the Fifth Amendment if called to testify (TIME, Feb. 4)-a defiance which contributed to the creation by the Senate last week of a special, well-financed ($350,000) committee to make a full-scale study of labor corruption...
...defective eyesight, which had barred him from U.S. military or commercial flying. Cocky and buoyant, he settled in Ciudad Trujillo, flew in and around the Dominican Republic for ten months. And one of the flights, he boasted in indiscreet moments last summer and fall, had been a hush-hush special job. His plane, he said, had taken Scholar Galindez, disguised as a "cancer patient," from the U.S. to the Dominican Republic...
Frank's bookshelves bulge with a special set of 64 volumes by authors with the same patronymic: Van Doren. Brother Carl, who died in 1950, started the set in 1911 with a scholarly biography of British Novelist and Poet Thomas Love Peacock.

Close friends as well as brothers, Carl and Mark then proceeded to found a family tradition of literary excellence based on incisive, forthright thinking and sturdy independence. Carl, a big, vigorous man who was devoted to football...
Simplest way to do this would be to build two conventional accelerators and make their particles collide, but all the machines known today shoot out so few particles that collisions between them would be too rare. Dr. Jones described a special accelerator that yields a beam so dense that it should cause many collisions with another beam. Better yet is Ohkawa's idea: an accelerator with two streams of particles circulating in opposite directions in the same circular path. Guided in a chainlike pattern by magnetic fields of alternating direction, the streams will cross each other many times...
Experts in physical medicine were prompt with their prescription: short, below-the-knee leg braces attached to special, high-top shoes to be worn in daytime, longer braces (up to the thigh) to be worn at night. The Army hospital prosthesis department rushed to make two pairs of each type of brace. At a downtown Washington shoe store, doctors supervised the fitting of four pairs of special shoes (children's size 9E), expected to last the growing boy four months. Four more pairs, size 9½, were supplied for the next four months. As the boy's feet...
