...breakfast-food manufacturer advertised an atomic bomb ring: "Actual atoms, splitting like crazy inside this ring! Look into lens-and socko! You'll see brilliant stabs of flashing light caused by released energy of atoms split to smithereens inside atom chamber." Only...
...reason for this heterogeneity, all creeds lament it. As a matter of act, they have been lamenting it off and on for more than half a millenium, but now, with the interest of the cloth in the course of world history intensified by the advent of the atom bomb, lamentation alone is no satisfaction.

Until the U.S. Government is sure that control is defined in those terms, the U.S. has no intention of giving up its head start in atomic development.

A German bomb blew off the front of the deanery; some 15 other bombs whistled down into the cathedral close. That night's raid (May 1942) wiped out the cathedral library, smashed several cathedral-owned shops, shook the ancient Norman and English arches of Britain's mother church with six near misses. The bill for repairs and restoration, in the form of a fund launched last summer: $1,200,000. After seven months, the purse-pinched British...
