...beginning with the sale of atomic secrets by Klaus Fuchs in 1947 drew little, satisfaction from this promise. Horrified to discover that British intelligence had got onto the Lonsdale ring only by a series of accidents, the London Daily Express wondered "in the months and years before, how much vital information reached the Russians through the flagrant folly and incompetence of naval intelligence?" Mourned the Daily Mail: "The vision of an alert, unsleeping corps of first-class brains keeping watch and ward has taken another blow...
Power Drive. Anxiety won belated recognition as a social phenomenon in the U.S. from Karen Homey. Erich Fromm and Harry Stack Sullivan. To Fromm, the Freudian frustration of sex energy becomes anxiety only when it involves some value or way of life that the individual holds vital to his security?for instance, the prestige of having a pretty wife. Horney believed that Freud put the cart before the horse; anxiety, she held, came before the instinctual drives?...
...elongated orbit ranging from 120,000 miles at its apogee (highest point) to 94 miles at its perigee. On board were three magnetometers, including an extremely sensitive one to measure magnetic fields, and a special instrument to study protons shot out of the sun. This sort of information is vital for space flight to other parts of the solar system. The crews of low-orbit manned satellites will be protected from solar protons by the deflecting effect of the earth's magnetic field, but real interplanetary space may prove extremely hostile to human life. Last week...
...Raisin in the Sun (Columbia) is essentially a writhing, vital mess of tenement realism. Unfortunately, in this film translation of her 1959 Broadway hit. Scenarist Lorraine Hansberry apparently felt obliged to sprinkle the mess occasionally with Mammy's own brand of brown sugar, douse it frequently with the skim milk of human kindness that too often passes for social concern, and then serve it all up as a sort of pablum for progressives. Even so, the mixture makes pretty strong medicine for a society afflicted with what the author calls "acute ghettoitis...
...PERKIN-ELMER of Norwalk, Conn., began in 1944 turning out chemical analytical spectrophotometers, which are used to study the infra-red spectrum of molecules. Since each molecule shows up with unique characteristics in infrared, spectrophotometers are vital in chemical research, have played an important role in identifying synthesis of drugs and vitamins. Perkin-Elmer also makes among other things a spectrometer for the Air Force that measures the efficiency of missiles in flight. Manhattan's Sloan-Kettering Institute for cancer research uses Perkin-Elmer spectrophotometers for organic chemical analysis...
