Thomas L. Collins, CEA assistant director and senior research fellow, said Tuesday that the bubble chamber, for safety reasons, probably will not be returned to the CEA experimental hall.

...case anyone still wondered what policies Rajaratnam would be promoting, after Lee's triple-barreled anti-U.S. blast last month (TIME, Sept. 10), the Prime Minister also called in a couple of Western newsmen and described anew the catastrophe that would result if the U.S. ever took over from the British out his way.
