Both Israel and Turkey are virile, modern and westward-looking inhabitants of an old, static and inward-looking region. Turkey admires Israel's compact little army as the region's second-best force (after her own), while Israel sees Turkey as the only other Middle East power of military significance.

But the little hard core of men close to the President ignore the organization. The symbol of this...
...experimental nuclear power reactors now in operation (e.g., at Arco. Idaho and Oak Ridge, Tenn.) have yet to match conventional power plants in cost per kilowatt. Last week the Army and the Atomic Energy Commission announced plans for a significant practical advance in the field of atomic power: a compact, 1.700-kilowatt nuclear power plant that can be broken down and airlifted piece by piece to U.S. bases overseas...
