Your June 3 summary of the bomb tests is an excellent example of concise reporting of a complex subject. One of the larger pitfalls involved in the fallout problem is that of assuming that science and research will take care of the matter in good time. As a member of the scientific fraternity, I should say that although we have done little to dispel the idea that researchers can invariably come up with the right thing at the right time, this is far from true; scientific methods are reasonably above reproach, but those who use them are subject to human...
...same time, the size and shape of the Stassen problem symbolized something special about the U.N.-sponsored disarmament talks now going on in London. Disarmament, as a subject of debate, appears now a little down out of the clouds and more in the realm of political give and take. And in this atmosphere it will have the best chance to date of proving whatever promise it may have. If Western European governments were edgy about Stassen's private meetings with Zorin, they stood firm and tough in the face of Russian-inspired propaganda on the horrors...
Socked for a noonday sum ($70,000) by British income-tax revenooers when he got homesick and visited England two years ago, Playwright Noel Coward scuttled back to the West Indies.

...victory in the battle against grippe-like diseases was reported by the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. New recruits tossed into melting-pot basic training centers are especially subject to infections caused by adenoviruses* (one man in ten has to be hospitalized). A new vaccine developed at Walter Reed and tested at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. cut down the attack rate of all upper-respiratory infections by 57%, and of those specifically attributed to adenoviruses...
...Wisconsin's new president, Glenn Frank, he set up a two-year experimental college for men at the university that promised to sweep away all sorts of cherished traditions. The students-all volunteers-heard no formal lectures, got no grades, took no examinations. Instead of studying separate subjects, each isolated from the others, they steeped themselves in a study of Athens' golden age their first year, U.S. industrial civilization the next. The whole idea was to bring all branches of knowledge to bear on one vast subject -to make a college that was a true "community of scholars...
