...white Southerners will stand for it). But where it looms, it is terribly effective. In Liberty County. Fla. last year, all but one of the first ten Negro registrants in the county's history took their names off the voting list after a set of cross-burnings, bomb-throwings and shots fired into their homes...
...country of its size, Hungary has an extraordinary record for providing the U.S. with first-rank scientist immigrants. Leo Szilard (key atom-bomb physicist), Edward Teller ("Father of the H-bomb") and the late great Mathematician John von Neumann (an Atomic Energy commissioner) were all Hungarian-born. So when refugees began streaming out of rebellious Hungary last year, the National Academy of Sciences set up an office at Camp Kilmer, N.J. and sent an expeditionary force to Austria to help educated Hungarians find jobs...
...still intends to stay friends with convention. In putting on last week's opening Stan Freberg Show (Sun. 7:30-8 p.m., CBS Radio), network executives eased their hypertension by scissoring out topical references to the Gaza Strip (it might offend Arabs and Zionists) and a simulated H-bomb explosion over a fictionalized Las Vegas (it might offend the State Department, the Atomic Energy Commission, the governor of Nevada, or somebody's aunt in Iowa). "Now I know what killed Fred Allen!" Stan Freberg cried, and complained of "panicky network people and panicky sponsors hanging like a tapioca...
...partly to the concentrated power of its four great General Electric J79 engines (more than 15,000 lbs. thrust each). Another important factor is the "pod" that can be hung below its fuselage. Almost ideally streamlined, the pod has comparatively little drag, but it can carry a large thermonuclear bomb and fuel for the outgoing leg of a long flight. At the target, the pod can be dropped. In effect, the use of the pod eliminates empty bomb bays and fuel tanks that other bombers must bring home with them at high cost in air resistance...
...offers a solution to a critical problem: how to keep the bomber from being destroyed by the effects of its own thermonuclear bomb. The toss-bombing technique (TIME, Sept. 24), which projects the bomb forward and upward while the bomber turns on its back and gets away, does not give a big margin of safety in the case of high-yield bombs. But if the pod is engineered as an air-to-ground missile with rocket propulsion of its own, it can be launched while the Hustler is many miles away from the target. While it is still curving through...
