...prediction is also known as the gravitational red shift. This shift (the observed frequency changes in light waves) is similar to the Doppler effect for sound waves: the frequency of vibration of a light source moving toward an observer seems to increase just as the horn of an onrushing train apparently rises in pitch. To test this principle, Pound set up a source of radiation at the top of a 75-foot shaft in the Jefferson Physical Laboratory. At the bottom of the shaft was an absorber...
East Pakistan last week went wild over Fatima Jinnah. Nearly 250,000 people turned out to see her in Dacca, and a million lined the 293-mile route from there to Chittagong. Her train, called the Freedom Special, was 22 hours late because men at each station pulled the emergency cord, and begged her to speak. The crowds hailed her as "Mother of the Nation," and when she asked, "Are you with me?", hands waved wildly...
...volleyball is something old men play at Grossinger's. But it was on the Olympic program last week, and it's a good thing Japan did not send her women off to war.

Hail", the Japanese women's team beat Russia so badly in the finals that the Muscovite ladies shut themselves in the locker room for a good...
Dueling Rommel. Patton saw his life as one long joust with the world. In peacetime, he trained himself for war as a medieval knight training for battle. He was a ferocious competitor in the pentathlon, in which he finished fifth in the 1912 Olympics, and polo, in which he was a seven-goal player. In his last year at West Point, he thrust his head into the line of fire during a sharpshooting exercise. "I just wanted to see how afraid I'd be," he explained, "and to train myself not to be." When war came, Patton...
...Damned Near a Record." About the only real concession that the Times made to last week's events was to charter planes two nights in a row. Normally, 17,000 copies of the Times's first edition-on the presses at 9:30-go by night train to Washington. But last week, to take advantage of interest in last-minute developments, the Times decided to fly copies of its midnight edition to the capital...
