...Pauling said that the earth's content of carbon 14 had gone up 10%, missing the point that AECommissioner Willard Libby was talking about the percentage increase in the total atmosphere. Hence the observation of the Lament geologists that Chemist Pauling's calculations were based on an "erroneous premise...
...already distended covers of the Advocate are further separated by three reviews of books by former English J students. Professor Guerard also contributes a discussion of these former proteges. The cover itself is less obstreperous than usual, an attractive product by Willard Midgette...

...Cessation of nuclear weapons tests by all countries through a U.N.-monitored agreement to detect violations. Detection is now conceded to be technically possible by the AEC's Dr. Willard Libby.

Atomic Energy Commissioner Willard Libby, one of the world's top authorities on carbon 14, replied that bomb tests had not produced enough carbon 14 to cause more than "very minute" danger. He added: "Why should we continue nuclear-weapons tests? The answer in its simplest form is, in my opinion, that they...
