Since that shining moment of man's ascendancy over nature, the atom's peril has more often overshadowed its promise. The U.S. alone has enough nuclear megadestruction stored in warheads to equal the explosive power of ten tons of TNT for every person on earth. Efforts to harness the atom's illimitable energy for peaceful uses have been as humble as its squash-court birth. Despite glowingly optimistic predictions, the atom has remained little more than an experimental tool in medicine, mining and a myriad of other fields. Only now is nuclear energy beginning to prove...
...takeoff in the last few years for using the atom commercially has been little short of phenomenal," declares the White House's Special Assistant on Science Robert Barlow. "Today it seems like any guess you make is wrong-everybody is drastically revising their estimates...
...force now consists of 62 twin-engine Mirage IV bombers and a growing stockpile of conventional atom bombs of up to 150 kilotons each. The Mach 2.2 Mirage carries a single bomb, and from such bases as Istres in Southern France can be over Russian cities in a half-hour. France has also success fully tested a medium-range missile called sol-sol-balistique stratégique, and plans to have 50 of them by 1970. In Haute-Provence, workers are building underground silos from which the missiles will be launched. This year France launched Le Redoubtable, the first...
...Negro masses, no concern for them. When I hear Stokely Carmichael, he's always asking, 'Give me the can opener, so I'll open the cans of power and eat them.' You waste your energies on demonstrations, on riots. They do not produce one atom of pride. You know the chemistry of pride, Mr. Sevareid? Pride. This is what the Negro needs, see. Viet Nam is going to do to the Negro what Israel has done for the Jews. And if I was a Negro leader, I would pitch a tent on the water edge...
...film, home computers, prisonless penology and electronic prying into the human brain. Less likely, though still possible, are the laboratory synthesis of fetuses (possibly human ones), robot athletes competing in the Olympic Games, thought control, programmed sleep and laser beams capable of boring tunnels, taking a portrait of the atom, and detecting enemy missiles within a tolerance of inches...
