...this crucial question that seemed certain to produce a stalemate again at Geneva. Adding some further details to the U.S.'s basic disarmament plan-a 30% cut in conventional weapons and in nuclear bomb carriers, such as rockets, within three years-U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk last week argued that "no government large or small could be expected to enter into disarmament arrangements under which their peoples might become victims of the perfidy of others." But if the Russians were so worried about inspectors, he said, the U.S. would be willing to discuss "sampling techniques," i.e., geographical...

What the hospital got first, however, was not suits but anonymous phoned bomb threats, and a mysterious fire broke out as well. Moreover, the tragedy is not finished. Even after the salt is flushed out and the baby seems well, parents must wait for as long as a year to see whether it will develop normally.

...worked most closely on the nuclear chain reactions that made the atomic bomb possible, one, Enrico Fermi, died of cancer. In 1959 the other, Leo Szilard, went to his doctors with a bladder cancer; they could not remove it all.

At the fade, while the violins soar among the bomb bursts, the poor misunderstood playboy dies heroically in an attempt to weaken the Wehrmacht's defenses in Normandy...
Died. Arthur Holly Compton, 69, brilliant pioneer of modern physics and, as wartime director of the University of Chicago's innocuously titled Metallurgical Laboratory, a key figure in the development of the atomic bomb, Chancellor of St. Louis' Washington University (1945-53); of a stroke; in Berkeley, Calif. An unpretentious scion of one of America's distinguished intellectual families,* Ohio-born Arthur Compton made his scientific debut at ten with a treatise on elephants' toes, won the Nobel Prize (together with Britain's Charles T.R. Wilson) at 35 with the discovery that X rays...
