...training, British Physicist Frank Stannard is a sober scientific observer concerned with the material world of matter and motion, of minute particles and massive reactions. By inclination Stannard is a dreamer. His antic imagination has conjured up an oddball universe where time actually runs backward. There, reports Stannard in Nature, a swimmer would rise from the water to land on a diving board, a decaying apple would gradually turn unripe and then into a blossom, all life would proceed from tomb to womb...
...symmetrical, why does time run only one way? "Ever since Einstein, we have thought of space and time as being closely associated with each other," says Stannard. "The behavior of particles in one dimension of space is the same as in another." Thus a particle can move forward or backward, up or down, right or left in space. It cannot do the same in time...
Speaking to the Tokyo press, Reischauer described Mao's mainland as country," "fundamentally a contended weak that and Peking's real backward power is too often exaggerated. In coming decades, he predicted, it will be industrialized and democratic Japan - not China - that will be the source of "in spiration" to other Asian lands. Added Reischauer: "Communist China's in fluence is an influence by fear. I am certain that Japan's positive influence will prove infinitely more important." In fact, he suggested, "in the long run Communist China will be one of the countries influenced...

It seems incredible that Mao might have forgotten so soon, but the last time Red China tried a Great Leap Forward, it set the country back a full ten years...
Trouble is, the reserves are nothing more than a patchwork of 260 vaguely associated tribal areas, most of them tiny and widely separated from each other. They are backward and primitive, with few natural resources, and far from the centers of industry. And together they contain less than 14% of South Africa's total land. The remaining 86% is for white occupation only, and the millions of Africans now living there are officially classified as "temporary sojourners"-even though many of them are third-generation city dwellers who have never set eyes on their "homelands...
