...latest list of scientists honored by the Vatican ranges across creeds and nations-from Nobel-prizewinning Physicist Sir James Chadwick, 70 (Church of England), to Hideki Yukawa, a Buddhist Nobelman from Japan.* Each man will receive a silver-gilt chain and medallion, and each will rate the Vatican title of excellency. From the Pope will come parchment proclamations addressing the Catholic scientists as "Dear Sir," the non-Catholics as "Famous Gentleman." And the varied salutations will be eloquent testimony to the Pontifical Academy's current catholicity of choice...
While the dollar value of the cut was comparatively small, the political effect was large. Said Japanese Government Economist Morio Yukawa: "I do not think that Japan stands alone in feeling apprehension over the growing intensity of import restrictions in the U.S. It is our sincere desire that the American people take full cognizance of the fact that their every action, however slight or unpremeditated, casts an influence on all the free nations out of all proportion to their original intent...
...present faculty, much more than a distinguished cluster of scholars, includes two Nobel Prizewinners (Physicists I. I. Rabi and Hideki Yukawa) and three winners of Pulitzer Prizes (Composer Douglas Moore, Historian Allan Nevins, Poet Mark Van Doren). It is also a reservoir of talent that serves the whole metropolis. Such men as Philosopher Irwin Edman, Critic Lionel Trilling and Classicist Gilbert Highet are full-fledged city celebrities. Economist Carl Shoup wrestles with city finances; Historian Harry Carman serves on the Board of Higher Education, and a slew of geologists and planners struggle with the city's water and traffic...
...theoretical physicists have known about mesons for years, and Nobel Prizewinner Hideki Yukawa predicted their discovery before any were found. But until recently the only way to study mesons was to wait patiently until the proper kind of cosmic ray from space blundered into the physicists' apparatus. Now the big new cyclotrons supply dense beams of mesons, which can be turned on at will...
...fund-raising Manhattan tea party, Mrs. Sumi Yukawa, petite wife of Nobel Prizewinning Physicist Dr. Hideki Yukawa, won bravos for her costume performance of two classical Japanese dances. Her sons, Harumi, 17, and Takaki, 15, did not attend the exhibition. Explained Dr. Yukawa: "They're much more interested in baseball...
