...past two years a steady stream of Asian women and children, mostly Indians seeking reunion with husbands and parents, has poured into South Africa to join the 360,000 Asians already there. Last week the flow reached flood proportions, then stopped as suddenly as the flow of water from a reservoir when the sluice gates are closed. In late 1953 South Africa passed a law barring all future immigration of Asians into white-supremist South Africa. On the night before the law went into effect last week, the airports were jammed with last-minute arrivals. A party of 150 Asians...
...north to pass 900 miles north of Hawaii. It entered the U.S. near the Oregon-California boundary and finally landed near Jackson, Miss. The whole trip (roughly 10,000 miles) took three days and two hours. The balloon's maximum speed when pushed by the high-altitude jet stream was 200 m.p.h. The third balloon cannot be located because of instrument failure, but the next four were launched successfully. When last reported, they were spread out between Japan and north-central Canada...
...needed a memory as exhaustive as Joyce's [own] as we sink into the bog-so misleadingly called a stream-of Irish consciousness. Joyce is the theologian of the interior morass ... As for meaning, Joyce attempts to replace it by 'pattern,' and, in doing so, he was prophetic of modern habit: unguided by moral conviction, impelled by scientific bent, we use the notion of 'pattern' to cover our lack of sense of moral direction." In Joyce's pattern, "God becomes word, life becomes a fantastic department of rhetoric and we need not go outside...
Bendix's Lumicon is a sophisticated television apparatus. It has a camera tube that views a scene, such as a dimly lighted room, and translates it into a stream of electronic signals. Then a picture tube (with 1,029 "lines" of light instead of the usual 525) turns the signals into a reproduction of the scene in front of the camera. The big difference between the Lumicon and an ordinary TV setup is that the electronic signals are strengthened enormously, making the picture on the tube much brighter than the scene that the camera is viewing...
Author Ives (two years Adlai's senior) evokes that lost Midwest world before the first of the great wars, where peace, prosperity, honor and family love composed the air the children breathed. In the big, chestnut-shaded house in Bloomington, Ill., with its adjoining pasture and quiet stream, the blue Dresden kerosene lamps were lit when distinguished guests arrived, and roses stood in silver bowls. It was also a high-minded, rather literary world (Adlai's maternal grandfather was publisher of the Bloomington Pantograph). Young Adlai played charades-once he enacted "a sunbeam on a rug"-and listened...
