Broadway and science mix in Runyon Fund praise
Billy Rose lauds the Damon Runyon Memorial Fund for Cancer Research for funding research fellows and up to date lab equipment while keeping administration minimal.

The piece then shifts to a defense and missile guidance discussion, citing MIT gyros, celestial navigation, radar, and debates over hydrogen bombs and air warfare strategies amid rapid defense advances.
