Somewhere in the Kremlin, the Communists appear to keep a Machiavellian UNIVAC with buttons, lights and levers that can bring into operation any one of 10,000 devices of skulduggery. Press the button labeled Peace, and peace doves take off from dovecotes in every capital; pull the lever marked Hate America, and such words as "jackal" and "hyena" leap into stereotype on a hundred printing presses. The cold-war machine comes equipped with a Parliament-Persuader that brings out Communist hecklers in Rome, Paris and Tokyo, a Double-Meaning Coding Machine for use during U.N. debates, an Automatic Truce Violator...
Yorkshire-born Storm Jameson has been writing this successful kind of brimstone and heartbreak novel for 36 years (The Captain's Wife, The Green Man). She seems always to writhe right alongside her characters in all their anguished blindness. If she could ever appear to stand above them, Novelist Jameson might create true tragedy.

They can put their apparatus to work watching a fluoroscope in a darkened room; it can see in light ten times too dim for human eyes. The faint shadows may be barely visible, but when they appear on the picture tube, they are bright enough to be studied in full daylight. This is important for doctors who examine patients by fluoroscope, and also important for the patients; doctors can now step down the power of X rays needed to get a good, clear picture...
...acceptable. Other objections have been advanced, but none seems to survive close examination. Recognition would hardly undermine nearby Asian democracies or boost China as the "wave of the future." Not only do many Asian nations already have ties with Peiping, but U.S. recognition--as part of negotiated settlement--could appear as a tactical advance for the United States, Other objections often center around the problems of "Selling out" Chiang to Formosa and on Pciping's admission to the United Nations--both of which will be considered in tomorrow's editorial...
