Even without a formal renewal, the cease-fire could continue next month on a de facto basis. This is far from certain, however. The Israelis have intercepted several Egyptian reconnaissance teams in Sinai, and last week four Egyptian Sukhois made two spy sweeps over Israeli lines on the Suez Canal.

Seaborg has championed peaceful uses of the atom for more than two decades, but he is going to need all of his conciliatory skills if he is to prevail without dividing the scientific community still further.
