Since World War II, more and more medical schools (including the University of Chicago's) have cooperated in training ministers in hospital procedure; more and more seminaries (including the Episcopalians' General Theological Seminary in Manhattan) have stressed chaplain service to the sick. Four years ago, Texas Medical Center began training doctors in the minister's role on "the healing team," stressing the relation of religion to a patient's health. Protestant, Catholic and Jewish clergymen lectured to the medical students on the details of their faiths so that the future doctors might collaborate in aiding...
Since World War II, British sculptors have gained more fame as a group than all of their forerunners put together. Their grand old man is Henry Moore (TIME, Sept. 21), but other stars of the movement are still in their 20s and 30s.

When Nazi Panzer divisions overran The Netherlands in World War II, one of the places they headed for first was the great Philips company electric works at Eindhoven. But hours before their arrival, 25 top Philips scientists and executives slipped away via British destroyers, carrying with them vital secrets that contributed to radar and other wartime developments.

In the first nine months this year, sales of Philips' worldwide empire reached...
Blockade Runners. World War I only made Philips grow bigger faster. To circumvent the blockage of the North Sea, the company outfitted its own fleet of fast blockade-running ships. With the home market protected from competition, the brothers Philips steadily pushed into new lines, made X-ray tubes for Dutch physicians. Seeing radio coming, they were turning out receiver and even transmitter tubes by 1919. After Gerard retired in 1922, Anton aggressively expanded, set up Philips plants in most countries of the world. Today from Eindhoven, one of Europe's biggest company towns (pop. 160,000), Anton...
What are the facts of Russia's claim to be outstripping the U.S. in growth? The one unarguable fact, Central Intelligence Agency's Allen Dulles recently told the Boiling "growth" subcommittee of Congress, is that at the outset of World War I, Russia was the world's sixth or seventh industrial power. But, said Dulles, "in the short space of 30 years since 1928, despite the ravages of four war years and several years of reconstruction, the Soviet Union has become second." Today, Dulles estimated, Russia's gross national product is around...
