What we need is the development of the law of nations in our age which will first bind the countries of the world into solemn voluntary pacts governing their great interests on the world scene, in contrast to unilateral exploitations by the mighty...
John Diefenbaker is proudly and confessedly a nationalist, in a nation whose oldtimers can recall when annexation by the U.S. was still a live political issue. His special concern is how to bind together the 4,000-mile-long, east-west ribbon that is populated Canada, weaving it strongly enough to resist the fraying influences of the north-south pull of economics and geography.

According to the parity law, objects that are mirror images of each other must obey the same physical rules (see chart). Applied to nuclear physics about 30 years ago, this principle became extremely important. Theories that seemed to violate it were summarily rejected. Much of the structure of modern nuclear physics was erected on parity...
