Ploughshare optimism is based on studies of a long series of craters blasted by both chemical and nuclear explosives in the Nevada desert. The first, called Buster Jangle-U. (1951), used a crude atom bomb with a yield of 1.2 kilotons. It dug a circular hole 53 ft. deep and 258 ft. in diameter. The next shot, Teapot-Ess, had the same yield, but it was placed deeper and it dug a deeper and wider crater. With these and other shots, Ploughshare scientists built up a body of theory and experience in which they have great confidence. Latest and largest...
...Security First National Bank branch in Los Angeles' International Airport Center looks as gay as a country club. The round pavilion with glass walls and a cookie-cutter roof juts out from a circular pedestal, and might be overlooking the swimming pool and the 18th hole instead of the corner of Century Boulevard and Vicksburg Avenue. But by some medieval quirk, Welton Becket & Associates has designed the entrances as bridges over a moat...

In these speeches, of course, Stevenson does not abandon his over-all philosophy. But in responding to an anti-imperialist circular, or commenting on the 100th Soviet veto, or discussing the positioning of Soviet missiles in Cuba, he can't afford to remind the world that no one has a monopoly on morality. The U.N. speeches, then, abetted by spicy slaps at the Soviets in the editor's brief introductions, portray...
...circular distributed in the dining halls last night asked students to write Congressmen about Wallace and John W. Perdew '64, who is now in a Georgia jail on a charge of inciting to insurrection. The circular was apparently written by students working for Perdew without consultation with the Wallace group...
...rectangles filled with symbols and shapes that were for a time inspired by ancient myths and later by pure free association. Gradually the symbols were replaced by abstract shapes and squiggles that Gottlieb labeled "imaginary landscapes." Today, a Gottlieb canvas is apt to consist of two basic images-a circular shape floating over an exploding mass of calligraphy. These are called "bursts," and Gottlieb's most articulate champion, Director Martin Friedman of the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, has called them "grandly conceived statements of dualism...
