Clipper Service. In Concord, Calif., James W. Brasher, 18, told police that he helped Barber Merrel Jackson Cline, 32, bomb another barber's nonunion shop after Cline promised him free haircuts for a year...
...dimension of nuclear horror makes the search for peace through disarmament more urgent than ever, it has not made the lessons of history obso lete. Precisely because a single H-bomb can demolish a great city, a stock of H-bombs secreted in the vast expanses of the U.S.S.R. could become the instrument of Communist domination of the world. Neutralists and disarmament-at-any-price Westerners grow impatient at the West's insistence on discussing details of inspection and control in response to grandiose Soviet disarmament proposals, but upon that hardheaded insistence may rest the future of freedom...
...atmosphere, in the sea, in space-and police the ban with a global network of long-range seismographs, plus international teams of inspectors to probe any suspicious earth tremors on the spot. But the U.S. would exempt all underground tests of less than 19 kilotons (about one Hiroshima bomb), because they are nearly impossible to detect...
Three weeks ago, on the eve of the showdown Labor Party executive meeting that was to decide on Gaitskell's proposals, 44 left-wing M.P.s broke with their leader over their insistence that Britain should unilaterally renounce its nuclear bomb. One of the dissidents was Richard Grossman, onetime Oxford don.

Gaitskell also demanded a showdown on controversial Clause 4 in the 1918 party constitution, calling...
Zeus's thunderbolts are designed to help the U.S. effort (Project Sherwood) to harness the vast thermonuclear energy of the hydrogen bomb in a manageable form. Most promising way to achieve fusion of hydrogen atoms is to squeeze them between enormously powerful magnetic fields, and such fields can only be created by equally powerful currents. When Zeus has passed its last tests, probably some time in June, Project Sherwood's apparatus will be waiting for its thunderbolts. The hope is that they can squeeze hydrogen hard enough to produce a flash of fusion energy...
