Since 1958, when the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament staged the first Aldermaston March, its 52-mile Easter parade has turned into Britain's biggest lunatic fringe benefit. Beardies and weirdies soon stole the spotlight from the pacifist parsons and left-wing Laborites who started the ban-the-bomb movement...
...being manipulated by such highly motivated "pilgrims" as Communist agitators, anarchists, and a few thugs to boot. Last week, after the sixth annual spectacular ended in blisters and bombast in Hyde Park, most responsible Britons-including several C.N.D. co-founders-were more eager to ban the march than the bomb...
...preceptor of St. Paul's Cathedral, simpered on TV that most marchers "treated it rather as a joke."

There were neutrons and protons nestled in the nucleus of the atom, electrons spinning around it, and photons to carry electromagnetic radiation. That seemed to be it. Then, after the big bomb-building breakthrough and the construction of billion-electron volt accelerators, scientists discovered a chaotic array of new particles. Some were so short-lived that their age was measured in less than a billionth of a second, their very existence inferred from the erratic tracks they left in bubble and cloud chambers...
