...from him, he may well succeed to the presidency in 1960. At that time the Gimo, who is 70, will complete his second six-year term, and Taipei is betting that he will not ask to have the constitution changed to permit a third. Instead, he is expected to turn over the presidency to Chen, and continue to have a hand in things by retaining the powerful director-generalship of the Kuomintang Party...
...turn of the century, three scientists (Hugo De Vries in The Netherlands, Karl Correns in Germany, and Erich Tschermak in Austria) independently rediscovered Mendel's principles. They also rediscovered his long-forgotten paper, and gave him full credit; the basic principles of genetics are still known as Mendel's laws. Genetics, born at last to science's estate, went to work on the interwoven mysteries of life and heredity...
...strangest witnesses on earth to man's love of the curious and bizarre. Near the Villa Orsini at Bomarzo is a whole sculpture garden of beasts and ogres carved from volcanic rock (see color pages) on the site. Rarely has sentiment taken a more bizarre turn.

...cars will spread out to more and more uses for aluminum. General Motors, which has been working toward a small, compact car (TIME, June 23), will finally get it on the road late next year. Main feature: an aluminum engine, which will save 150 Ibs., in turn reduce overall engine weight 30% by means of lighter mountings, braces, etc. Up to now every aluminum engine required either a ferrous liner or a chromium coating for cylinder bores; both were expensive to make and troublesome to process. G.M. believes it has solved the problem by finding a wear-resistant aluminum alloy...
