...creative ? Anyone who has studied the many uses to which scientific principles have been applied, or even scientific methods of discovery and proof, would answer that science and engineering do require a great deal of creativity. Would Dr. Hudson say that Niels Bohr, who understood the interior of the atom so well, even though he could not see it, was an uncreative person...
...Britain in directing Western policy. Its private deterrent is an expensive luxury for France-$300 million a year-and will become costlier still. For its money, France next year will have an operational force of 50 short-range Mirage IV bombers, each carrying two relatively low-yield atom bombs. Snickering military experts point out that this will be equal to only one U.S. bomber wing. For Gallic egos, this does not matter. More important, it will no doubt increase France's influence. Already, its imminent reality has persuaded the U.S. to supply De Gaulle with air-to-air refueling...
...project for which the Middletown, Conn., plant was first built has been abandoned; U.S. authorities no longer feel driven to solve the enormously difficult design problems of a nuclear-powered aircraft. But the Pratt & Whitney engineers who sweated over the complexities of the atom plane's engine are still determined to get some sort of nuclear reactor aloft. They are working for AEC now, and last week the commission allowed them to give a glimpse of their top-secret labs...
...During the dangerous flight, while the bomber dodged German fighters, he almost died of asphyxiation from a faulty oxygen mask. From England he went on to the U.S., where the news that he had brought in 1939 had already mushroomed into the enormous Manhattan Project for constructing the first atom bomb...
