In interviews with scores of military, intelligence and Administration officials, TIME discovered that the Pentagon has wide-ranging plans to revolutionize the battlefield with information technology much as tanks did in World War I and the atom bomb in World War II. Says Admiral William Owens, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: "This is America's gift to warfare...
...important scientific loose end tied up at last. When Einstein first suggested the idea of BEC back in the 1920s, building on the work of the Indian physicist Satyendra Nath Bose, quantum mechanics was a new and controversial field. Among its stranger assertions -- long since confirmed -- was that atoms and other elementary particles can also be thought of as waves. The waves are really waves of probability, which describe where an atom is most likely to be at a given moment (Heisenberg's uncertainty principle dictates that you can never say precisely where an atom actually...
...code, the U.S. was "Country," the atomic bomb project was "Enormoz," and Franklin Roosevelt was "Kapitan."

...this civilization that work for usso well and enrich us can equally impoverish,diminish and destroy our lives, and frequently do.Instead of serving people, many of these creationsenslave them. Instead of helping people to developtheir identities, they take them away. Almostevery invention or discovery--from the splittingof the atom and the discovery of DNA to televisionand the computer--can be turned against us andused to our detriment. How much easier it is todaythan it was during the First World War to destroyan entire metropolis in a single air-raid. And howmuch easier would it be today, in the era oftelevision...
