Your June 3 summary of the bomb tests is an excellent example of concise reporting of a complex subject. One of the larger pitfalls involved in the fallout problem is that of assuming that science and research will take care of the matter in good time. As a member of the scientific fraternity, I should say that although we have done little to dispel the idea that researchers can invariably come up with the right thing at the right time, this is far from true; scientific methods are reasonably above reproach, but those who use them are subject to human...
...although disappointed that the ICBM failed to complete its assigned course (well under extreme range), quickly claimed a "scientific success," i.e., failure had been mechanical, did not involve basic design, hence would be relatively easy to correct. Even in the 55 seconds of Atlas' brief debut, films and complex recording devices had furnished valuable data on its characteristics in flight...

The usually pro-American Mainichi Shimbun exulted: "The incident proves an old saying: 'Even a worm one inch long is one-half inch of spirit.'" In Bangkok the middle-of-the-road daily Satirapharp cautioned: "The incident on Formosa has taught us that we must not let too many Americans come to our country...
