...make weapons capable of reducing the world to the primitive conditions of the time of Cain and Abel. He even has, within the range of his grasp, means to completely exterminate the human race. Today, scientists can make a good educated guess as to the number of [bombs] needed for total world catastrophe-to scatter to the four winds, in a matter of seconds, the civilization it has taken man so many centuries to put together. No wonder some ask, "Are we not playing with things that belong to God?" The concerted, atheistic threat against all we hold dear...
East of Eden (Warner) provides, for those who can stand it, an experience as complex and fascinating as that of playing three-dimensional chess with three different opponents.

Even as he spoke, the Administration was moving to turn over to a special branch of the Justice Department responsibility for getting uniform action under the security program. But the new office will have only advisory power-which may not be enough...
...Harry Cain concluded his speech with an eloquent statement: "Any government, to deserve to survive, must deserve the respect of its citizenry. A government is under no compulsion to be less than severe in punishing crimes against the state, but that government is under every compulsion to extend consideration and just treatment to every citizen. He or she must be treated as what they actually are-the fiber and substance from which a free nation derives its strength and purpose." Only when the requirements of security and justice are met will the numbers Ten-Four-Fifty move...
