Balliol's current master, Sir David Lindsay Keir, is a legal scholar who maintains Jowett's old stress on under graduate minds and muscles via stiff classics, intimate tutorials, rugger and rowing. Graduate research is still rare at Balliol, but science is finally getting its head; of the 39 fellows, nine are scientists and mathematicians. The, others remain brilliant eminences in philosophy or Sanskrit-men like Theodore Tylor, tutor in jurisprudence and one of Britain's best bridge players, although he is almost blind...
...Germans who effectively frustrated the Gestapo, he saved scores of Polish Jews by demanding their release from extermination camp-bound trains on grounds that they were needed in the refinery. In 1960 the Polish government honored Beitz for his impulsive decency under wartime stress-and he seized the opportunity to talk up trade...
...basic shell forms are only an inch or two thick, but they can be modified, tipped, inverted, varied almost indefinitely. In earlier days, Candela seemed to accomplish this feat of engineering almost by intuition; he gave the impression of looking down on those who mathematically calculated and recalculated stress. Today Candela checks his designs with the help of IBM machines at University City. "I am," says he happily, "the prisoner of geometry." Candela is usually content to let the soaring geometry speak for itself, but with churches, he admits with a grin, "we refine a little." One of his most...
Scramble for Space. Instead of flatly condemning reports of a cancer link, as manufacturers once did, the industry's Tobacco Institute now prefers to stress "a crusade for research." While waiting for the results of that crusade, tobacco companies have stepped up their $200 million advertising campaign, which associates smoking with virility and romance. Manufacturers scramble hard for spots in vending machines, which now account for 16% of cigarette sales. Partly because the automatic vendors ask no questions of underage smokers (who are breaking the law in 46 states whenever they buy cigarettes), four states are considering imposing restrictions...
Only under the occasional stress of crisis did the Kennedy Administration move vigorously. Last year, when the outbreak of freedom rides threatened violent clashes in the South, Bobby got the Interstate Commerce Commission to issue an order banning segregation in terminals serving interstate transportation. Under that order, the WHITE and COLORED signs have vanished from the lavatory doors and waiting room entrances of more than 300 Southern rail, bus and air terminals. When the enrollment of Negro James Meredith at the University of Mississippi last fall led to an explosion of mob violence, President Kennedy sent 16,000 federal troops...
