...Unseen Searchlight. Columbia's cyclotron yielded its first meson beam about a year ago, when Dr. Eugene T. Booth (now working on a secret Government project) was in charge of the great machine. Since then, the meson beam has played like an unseen searchlight around the flank of the cyclotron, lighting up dark corners of atomic physics. The mass of the quick-vanishing pi meson has been measured accurately, as well as its "spin," which is something like rotation. Dr. James Rainwater, the present boss of the cyclotron, is finding out what happens when mesons hit protons, neutrons...
What does it come to? Several economists recently estimated that if Henry's family is in the $3,500-a-year class, Henry coughs up in the form of state and federal taxes, seen and unseen, about $908 a year, or a little over one-fourth of what he makes.

Crippen liked what he saw. Kroening got on the phone and bought the dark brown horse for $25,000, sight unseen. He forthwith found himself too busy with defense work to watch his new trotter in competition (ten wins in 23 starts last year, one out of 13 this season). But last week, Contractor Kroening took a few days off, went to Goshen, N.Y. There, at the 26th annual Hambletonian mile...
...outdoor dramas. And it wants action stories . . . There is tremendous interest in Indians now. Exhibitors say: 'Give us Indians!' And the public wants titles. Titles wake up their imagination. I can sell pictures by calling off titles to exhibitors. A title like Hong Kong will sell sight unseen...
