...Mitsubishi shipyard, which in wartime turned out Japan's super-dreadnoughts Yamato and Musashi, is now the world's largest, and last week was busily expanding in order to build the biggest supertankers (150,000 tons) ever launched. Bustling Nagasaki, reports TIME Correspondent Don Connery, views atom-haunted Hiroshima with wry condescension and a touch of envy. Dr. Soichiro Yokota, director of the city's Atomic Bomb Hospital, sniffs that Hiroshima "is better at propaganda than we are," adding with a smile: "It's also true that Nagasaki is like the man who flew the Atlantic...

Throughout his lower-echelon Foreign Office career, handsome, curly-haired Guy Burgess was constantly in trouble, physically dirty and in debt; naturally, no one took seriously his close friendship with Atom Spy Alan Nunn May. Though a known homosexual and prone to savage fits of violence, flabby, fair-haired Donald Maclean was privy to top-level U.S. atomic information as wartime First Secretary in Britain's Washington embassy, later headed the American desk in the Foreign Office. To one casual acquaintance, Maclean's allegiance to Communism "stuck out a mile." Yet, though they might be "eccentric," both were...
