...waves were first observed at Harvard five years ago by Drs. Harold I. Ewen and Edward M. Purcell, and they have proved wonderfully useful in showing up features of the universe invisible to telescopes using light. The hydrogen clouds are everywhere, streaming along the spiral arms of the galaxy, clustered thickly in the Milky Way. An average cloud may be 25 light years (150 trillion miles) in diameter and weigh 100 times as much...
What Latin America really needs from foreign trade is enough return to buy the capital goods required to send its Johnny-come-lately industries into an upward spiral, lifting the people's standard of living. This "capacity to import" is set largely by the volume of exports of farm products and minerals and the price they bring. Last year Latin Americans turned out plenty of these products, e.g., agricultural output (sugar, bananas, meat, coffee, cacao, wool) was bigger than in 1954, both total and per capita. But the prices of the exports fell so sharply (notably in coffee...
...Dizzy Spiral. Kubitschek expects his development program to help cure the inflation sickness by making more goods available. The puzzler here is how to finance the government's share of the program and at the same time slow down the currency presses. In the past few years, the government custom of printing new money to meet budget deficits has kept inflation spiraling dizzily. Retail prices have almost doubled within three years, rising faster than wages. Among Brazilian workers, the resulting sag in real wages has brought on a rancorous discontent...
...better than color decorations, one must admit the potency of his process." ¶ Art News explained that Pollock's work "sustains the abstract-size scale toward which his vision has probably always been directed. It is a 'cosmic' scale because of the multiple overlay and continuous spiral movement in conjunction with the non-figurativeness." ¶ Arts summed up: "A Pollock painting, charged with his personal mythology, remains meaningless to him for whom Pollock himself is not a tangible reality. As Indian sculpture is related to Vedic and Upanishadic thought, exactly so are Pollock's canvases related...
Twenty-eight-year-old Odette has made her tiny, seventh-floor hotel room in Montmartre a haven for the sad, overpainted tarts who climb the spiral stairs for a chat, a prayer or a good cry. Sometimes, too, they ask for help in finding a decent job, and help is always forthcoming. In a dilapidated garret in the suburb of Aubervilliers live Andree, Juliette and Colette-each 24, each working in a factory. Colette- and Juliette work in the nearby Tungsram plant, Andree in the Citroen factory 'in Asnieres. Despite her training years in factory work, Andree...
