Franz von Papen, 69, Hitler's super-sleek diplomat, who has served two years of an eight-year rap as a major Nazi offender, was really only a second-class Nazi, a German appeals court decided. A fine of 30,000 marks ($9,000) still stood, and he got a solemn warning not to take part in any activities that might mold public opinion. Then the court ordered the return of his confiscated property and his release from prison...
Project Cirrus (a joint cloud study program of the services and G.E.) has been very successful, said Dr. Langmuir. Thirty-five of its cloud-seeding flights changed super cooled clouds* into ice or snow crystals. Last October, at Albuquerque, two large cumulus clouds were sprinkled with dry ice.

Wave of Indignation. When peace broke out, François de Wendel became chairman of France's famous Comité des Forges, a sort of super lobby combining all of France's steel, iron and armament firms.

...Michael's adolescent super-morality convinces him, as he tells his mother, that Sir John "was vile, and you weakened." To snarl things further, Michael's leftist Canadian "organization" believes Sir John to be a "menace to world industrial reorganization," and just one small step above a Fascist. Sizing up the dramatic possibilities, Michael becomes a moping, moody Hamlet. He believes Sir John murdered his father and accuses his mother of "living in sin" with Fletcher...
