...case, the committee called in two scientists, still bitter against Strauss for his part in getting the security clearance of Physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer lifted in 1954, in a sequel to the fierce battle in which Strauss urged-and Oppenheimer opposed-a program to develop an H-bomb. Argonne National Laboratory Physicist David R. Inglis, newly elected chairman of the politicking Federation of American Scientists, charged that Strauss, out of "personal vindictiveness," had dragged scientific freedom "into the dirt" in the Oppenheimer case. But Inglis threw considerable light on his own judgment when he remarked that Alger Hiss...
Getting off the jammed main routes is no help, for the idea has occurred to everybody else too. The narrow back streets of cities are further narrowed by parked cars and blocked by garbage trucks and moving vans.

Lyman, the daring one, taught younger brother Ernest (now with a building-construction firm in Hackensack, N.J.) how to swim, shook the town each July 4 with blasts from his is-inch-long toy cannon, set off a homemade bomb in the stone quarry, practiced his rifle marksmanship (he later became one of the Army's best) in the attic on rainy days with a .22. One winter, while crust riding downhill on his sled, he lost control, rammed head first into a stone wall. Unshaken, he would have gone calmly back...
WASHINGTON, May 5--Atomic Energy Commission Chairman John A. McCone said today a scientific advisory committee soon "will give further reassurance to the people of the world about the very small hazard resulting from fallout" of nuclear bomb tests...
