With better luck than anyone had a right to expect, President Eisenhower last week found just the man to take on the job-vacant since the "wanted" sign was hung out last August-of running the Pentagon's increasingly diverse research, and engineering problems. The man: Dr. Herbert York, 37, one of the nation's top scientists, who has been holding down the job of chief scientist of the Defense Department's Advanced Research Projects Agency, ten-month-old overall Pentagon planning group...
...plot hinges on whether Miles will be appointed head of a new laboratory set up to study his own specialty. It is a Trollopian situation, as scientific panjandrums play politics with the skill and gusto of the Barchester Cathedral chapter contending over a vacant canonry. But the real story is a crisis in faith. Miles is distracted from his devotions by a girl named Audrey, and it is easy to see why Lord Rutherford did not like the erotic bits. She and Miles live it up at meetings of the Holborn Labour Party, and their sex life is described...
...private world. That world began in the lively imagination of Nebraska-born Bil (so spelled since he formed an art club requiring three-letter first names). Growing up in Detroit, the son of a chemical engineer, Bil built a puppet-populated miniature city for his friends in a vacant lot. He continued puppeteering apace through the State University of Iowa, wound up as assistant to famed Puppeteer Tony Sarg. One of his duties: nursing Sarg's monster Macy's parade balloons from a taxicab filled with helium tanks, while warding off BB gun snipers along the route...
...Lewis Gruber, 63, president "since 1956 of P. Lorillard Co. (Old Gold, Kent, Newport), fourth largest U.S. tobacco manufacturer (first nine months' sales: $353 million), moved up to the vacant post of board chairman, but will continue as chief executive officer. Taking his place as president, and most probable successor to head Lorillard when Gruber retires in two years: Harold Francis Temple, 55, vice president and director of sales, who began as a salesman with Lorillard 30 years...
...mixed tutorial." But "mixed tutorial" should be added as a third important objective by both large and small departments and by the Houses. With these objectives in mind, the problem of non-resident tutor offices becomes clearer. Perhaps these tutors will be given space at Radcliffe, perhaps in a vacant room left in a House after deconversion. It doesn't really matter. Radcliffe has had to walk to the Houses for tutorial in the past and won't mind continuing to do so, and Harvard students have gone to Radcliffe for tutorial as well. Harvard and Radcliffe may never...
