...lobes around the nucleus, so that the whole atom looks like a sphere with blisters. Significance of Dr. Freeman's news is that the shapes formed by the electrons may provide an explanation for magnetism, which seems to be caused by "uncoupled" electrons that travel independently as they whirl around the atom's nucleus. It is now up to the theorists to account for the new shapes that Dr. Freeman has "seen...
There would have been no threat to peace in Europe this year if Nikita Khrushchev had not abruptly and without warning proclaimed last Nov. 27 that he wanted the Western Allies to get out of Berlin within six months. Since then, in a stupefying whirl of fighting words and friendly asides, he has raised and lowered the cold war temperature at will.

But no one could deny his skill at getting the most out of manner without giving...
...entertainment, one commentator damned Bertrand Poirot-Delpech's Le Grand Dadais as "an amusing trifle to take on a short railroad journey."

Last week the magazine was absorbed (estimated price: $150,000) and closed out by Vision, Inc., a closemouthed Madison Avenue publishing house that operates a grab-bag set of properties...
Returning to this country in 1935, still set on a journalistic career, Price found himself becoming "more and more interested" in government. ("There was a great deal of excitement about government programs in that period, and I thought I'd give it a whirl.") His first job was with the Central Housing Committee, trying to formulate a national housing policy and to set up machinery for its administration. After two years in Washington, he toured the country with two others on a Social Science Research Council grant, preparing a report on the city manager form of government...
