While various comments on chemical engineering paradigms have appeared over the years [1,5-7], an overuse of the word paradigm by society in general may have led to some confusion over the meaning of the term. One is reminded of the Dilbert comic strip where every engineer says his project is a paradigm but no one seems to know what that means ...

Analysts of the comic-strip medium have frequently compared these two "scientific" newspaper strips, almost always to Buck Rogers s detriment. Life in Buck s twenty-fifth century seems flat and melodramatic when compared to Alex Raymond s imaginative scenery and... 

Since American comic books—as opposed to the newspaper comic strips—emerged at roughly the same time, this medium provided an even more popuiar outlet for conveying atomic information to the American pubiic. But here, it is necessary to lay a bit of background. The comic books, as we now know them, evolved in the mid-1930s from a merger between the newspaper comic strips and the parallel world of pulp fiction. Comic book writers and artists borrowed the... 

Excluding the voluntary censorship of the professional scientific journals—which might well have had a real impact—the three-year silence imposed on the mainstream radio/press media proved ineffective. The reason is simple. Both before and during the war, the popular culture of the era had produced scores of atomic-related stories in science-fiction magazines, comic books, and newspaper comic strips, and a number of these tales set forth the parameters of atomic power with uncanny precision. 

The second attempt to censor Superman s atomic adventures involved his even more popular newspaper comic strip. In April 1945, the Superman artist drew a futuristic "cyclotron" that was prepared to bombard the hero with three million electron volts at the speed of 1,000,000,000 per hour.

Superman, of course, survives, and the quirky scientist Professor Duste eventually concludes that his "atom smasher" is out of order.

The story line immediately cut to Superman playing all nine positions of a baseball game by himself. 

The loudest scoffing, however, revolved around the attempts to stifle Superman s newspaper comic strip atomic tales. As Lt. Col. John Lansdale Jr. wrote to the War Department in the midst of the second Superman flap, the Office of Censorship simply did not have the personnel to police the nation s newspaper cartoon strips. Moreover, any efforts to do so would simply call unwarranted attention to the subject matter under discussion. In addition, Lansdale argued, having...
