A startlingly accurate economic prophet, Slichter usually championed the minority view. When his fellow economists took a leaf from Marx and gloomily predicted the stagnation of a mature economy in the '30s, Slichter forecast the growth of the '40s. When...
Bouncing the bill back to the Hill half an hour after it arrived, the President called House Republican Leader Charlie Halleck of Indiana to insist upon another last-ditch stand such as Halleck staged to sustain the previous veto by one vote (TIME, Sept. 14).

Since it cannot sustain a chain reaction itself, natural thorium is not classified as a nuclear fuel but as a "fertile" material. The thorium may be placed in a reactor fueled with uranium 235. Neutrons produced by the fissioning U-235 are run through a moderator made of graphite or heavy water, thus slowed from 10,000 miles a second to a modest one mile a second. Fast neutrons would bounce off or pass through the thorium, but at this speed neutrons are moving slowly enough to be captured by thorium 232 atoms, turning them into unstable thorium 233. When...
