Kirsten Flagstad (Victor). Lieder by Schubert, Brahms, Strauss, both gentle and dramatic, sung with the melting grace and liquid power that few singers can match. An interesting comparison can be made with A Milanov Recital (also Victor), in which the Metropolitan Opera soprano pours her opulent tones into a pair of the same tunes (among others), but makes them sound like Verdi...
Pressed to comment on Bhabha's fore cast, AEC Chairman Lewis Strauss disclosed what most scientists already knew: the U.S. (like Russia and Britain) has long been experimenting with fusion power on "a moderate scale." But, he added, H-power is a long-range project, and, barring an early, unforeseen "breakthrough," uranium will be the standard reactor fuel for some time to come...
There are Indians and Czechs. Japanese and Hollanders, Pakistani and Lichtensteiners. The Russians arrived in force with 30 chainsmoking technicians to set up their exhibits and 150 other members in their delegation. The British, highly skilled in atomics, flooded down from London.

...customer, would withdraw from TVA and forfeit its substantial revenue from retailing TVA power. A more plausible solution would be for AEC, which was then gobbling up 25% of TVA's output, to buy power from a private utility (as it was already doing elsewhere). AEC Chairman Lewis Strauss agreed with Dodge that this was feasible. So did Electric Energy, Inc. President J. W. McAfee, whose Joppa, 111. plant was built to supply AEC's installation at Paducah, Ky.. and could have provided the additional 500-600,000 kw. needed by AEC. On the assumption that Electric...
