...Argentina, intelligence agents confronted the Cuban ambassador with documentary proof of his complicity in a plot by followers of ex-Dictator Juan Peron to overthrow President Arturo Frondizi; the agents also found his diplomatic pouch stuffed with Che's pamphlets on guerrilla warfare and instructions on how to bomb bridges. Brazil also expelled an intriguing Cuban embassy attache...
...Federal Government since 1954, when he was branded a "potential security risk" and discharged as a consultant to the Atomic Energy Commission. But his standing with the United Nations has apparently not suffered. Last week Oppenheimer, a prime architect of the Abomb, a conscientious objector to the H-bomb, was confirmed as the U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency's official representative to the forthcoming Tenth Annual High Energy Physics Conference. The man who appointed him: the U.N. agency's director-general, W. Sterling Cole, onetime G.O.P. Representative and a congressional overseer of the Atomic Energy Commission...
After getting her report card, Charlene barricaded herself in the family bomb shelter that her housepainter father recently built off the cellar. Last week she emerged with a bomb for the school board -a scathing letter of protest, which the Manchester Evening Herald promptly published. Her complaint: that "in the jet age, the space age, the atomic age and the age of pushbutton warfare,'' Manchester High makes no distinction between brains and brawn. "Inexcusable stupidity," wrote she. "I fully expect upon returning to M.H.S. to be faced with a course in stone axes and spears, in which...
Hypothetical Wars. Tech Ops has built its reputation with the armed forces and other Government agencies as an outfit to consult for answers to the far-out problems of space travel, radiation, communications, etc. It has contracts for such theoretical tasks as simulating a hydrogen bomb blast in outer space, and figuring out a defense against missiles systems to be used ten or 20 years from now. Tech Ops also set up a computer system in Washington by which hypothetical wars can be fought and generals trained to fight them...
While much of the company's work is theoretical problem solving, some of it is quite practical. Sample: How do you find out how much fallout there is on a house from an atom blast without exploding a bomb? Tech Ops' answer was to build a scaled-down city, surround it with plastic tubing through which radioactive cobalt 60 is pumped, and then measure the fallout. The results are projected to a full-scale city. Through such experiments for the Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization, Tech Ops will make recommendations for realistic civil defense measures...
