...thin hydrogen gas between the galaxies, suggesting that the hydrogen atoms may have slight positive charges and therefore push one another apart by electrostatic repulsion (TIME, June 22). A still-later theory comes from Professors Thomas Gold of Cornell and Fred Hoyle of Cambridge. England. Gold and Hoyle also think that the mysterious force comes from intergalactic hydrogen gas, but they argue that its urge to expand comes from high temperature, not from electrical repulsion...
Bondi, are backers of the theory of continuous creation, which holds that matter is still being created. The newly created matter is generally believed to appear throughout space in the form of hydrogen atoms (one proton and one electron each), but Gold and Hoyle now think it may first appear as neutrons. Since neutrons are unstable, they break up almost immediately, yielding equal numbers of protons and electrons. This neutron decay releases so much energy that the resulting "cosmological material" has the temperature...
...failure with The Jazz Singer, starring Jerry Lewis. But Producer Robinson has a reputation for imagination and drive, carved as program boss of CBS, a job he held for a dozen years, until last summer. It was Robinson who patiently brought along young producers and writers, prodded them to "think offbeat," helped develop such CBS shows as Playhouse go, See It Now, Twentieth Century. At CBS, suave and slender (5 ft. 8 in., 150 Ibs.) Vice President Robinson also became known as a cold, meticulous personality, given to $250 Dunhill suits.

...standards. They must know the good from the bad, and be able to say why. A woman must not only know facts-she must have ideas about them. There is a definite need for intellectuals in this country today. The modern world needs more people-including girls-who think for themselves." All down the line, urged Sister Margaret, education for U.S. women should be stiffened. More women should go on to graduate school, be fitted for "a better contribution to American life." Said she of classical-bent Trinity, which sends half its girls to graduate school...
...will finish this season with a three-year mark of 63% to break the record of 62% set last year by Utah's Lee Grosscup (now a scrub-practice quarterback for the New York Giants). "Meredith's uncanny the way he throws," marvels one impressed opponent. "I think he has radar in his receiver's helmets...
