...Korea's starving peasants, many of whom have been forced to mortgage their crops at as much as 80% interest, Chang froze all loans bearing interest rates of more than 20% a year. To clear Seoul's slums, bulldozers were sent to raze acres of cardboard and tin shacks. The bewildered inhabitants were ordered to clean up the debris, then were trucked off to a barren new site, where they were bundled into large tents in groups of four and five families. Chang's officers made it a prison offense to possess American cigarettes; in so doing...
...Orleans Rhythm Kings: Tin Roof Blues (Riverside). Chicago style-blary, jagged, and rough around the edges-by one of the two bands (along with King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band) that ruled the North and South Sides in the old days. Put on wax in the early '20s, these performances are a reminder that the King of the Kings was the late Clarinetist Leon Rappolo, whose solos in such numbers as Tiger Rag and the title song (also known as Jazzin' Babies) are taut as a bent...
...supercool atom smasher, operating at temperatures close to absolute zero (-460° F.), may be smaller and cheaper to build, and could operate on far less electrical power than conventional electromagnetic accelerators, said Midwestern Universities Research Association Physicist Dr. Cyril D. Curtis. By using such superconductive materials as niobium-tin alloy (TIME, March 3) instead of huge iron magnets, atom smashers now 1,200 ft. in diameter might be reduced to less than 550 ft., and construction and operation costs could be cut by 35%. Curtis' projection was underscored at the same A.P.S. session when Brookhaven National Laboratory...
That Madison Avenue has a tin pan ally has long been an open secret. When singing commercials first began to sound better than popular songs, most listeners concluded, reasonably enough, that popular songs had become worse (rock 'n' roll had come along). But a year or so later, the advertising arias began to sound unmistakably better than the TV programs they interrupted. Here was unquestionable evidence. TV programs could not have got any worse; therefore, the singing commercials had improved...
...first politically unpopular step of making the mines more efficient. The miners are well armed and defiantly opposed to wholesale dismissals. However, President Paz Estenssoro, the man who led the 195 2 revolution, realizes that his movement will fail unless Bolivia solves its problems, and soon. Even the tin miners' Lechin, now the nation's Vice President, may understand that time is growing short. Visiting in Washington six weeks ago, Lechin wept publicly when the Inter-American Development Bank granted Bolivia a $10 million loan...
