David Brinkley's Journal (NBC, 10-10:30 p.m.). Reunion with bomber group that dropped the atom bomb over Hiroshima. Repeat...
...problems and powerful potential of the split atom already seem old hat; laser is now the word for the future in half the world's laboratories. The almost magical optical-electronic devices are said to be sparkling with more possibilities than scientists can begin to count. But Austrian Physicist Hans Thirring gets particularly exasperated when loose talk conjures up images of long-distance death rays capable of killing incoming missiles, or of laser light broiling earth-side cities from bases on the moon...
Many corporate chiefs complain that Government research programs suffer from the bureaucratic ills of mismanagement, wastefulness, duplication and inefficiency.

An even greater concern for businessmen is that Government projects are luring the best researchers away from industry and pushing up the salaries of those who remain. "Scientists and engineers are just not interested in working on a new type of washing...
When they passed the proper hydrocarbons, sulphur dioxide and oxygen near a chunk of fiercely radioactive cobalt 60, the gamma rays from the cobalt knocked a hydrogen atom off the hydrocarbon molecules, making them highly reactive. After enough of these free radicals had been formed, the cobalt 60 could be removed, and the reaction proceeded without further stimulation. The result was SAS (sodium alkane sulfonate), a long-chain detergent that washes clothes and dishes every bit as well as the troublesome...

The fisherman's consequent suicide leads the pastor to more destruction by words, cruel words to the village schoolteacher (Ingrid Thulin), whose...
