When all is said and done, though, the core of the whole project is its roster of performers. The goal is to have a real repertory company at Stratford in the summer to put on exciting productions, which will then be toured during the rest of the year--thereby bringing Shakespeare to many parts of the country and providing extended employment for the actors, actresses and staff; and, in addition, to have an ancillary school, where the youngest talents of today can be helped to become leading Shakespearean practitioners of tomorrow...
...Social utility" may well motivate the U.S. religious boom, wrote the Rev. Andrew Greeley of Chicago in the Roman Catholic magazine The Sign. "But it is at least possible that within the outer froth of religiosity there is an inner core of authentic religion hardened by the firmness of Divine Grace ... If intelligent Catholics stand apart from it in disdain, they may run the risk of putting themselves in the same class as those fastidious Italian noblemen who wondered how any good could possibly come from the Poor Man of Assisi and his ragamuffin band of followers...
...worst problem will be the reactor itself. The core will have to be small, probably a cylinder a few feet in diameter, but it will have to generate something like 100 times the energy of the massive reactor of Britain's Calder Hall nuclear power station. This means that it will run very hot, and will be kept from flashing into vapor only by the stream of liquid hydrogen forced rapidly through it. On the other hand, the core need work for only a few minutes. By that time the propellant will have been exhausted, and the rocket will...

...react too fast -it could be slowed down by pushing into it a simple rod of neutron-absorbing material. Control rods are still used, but the operators of big modern reactors dare not depend on them alone. Under some conditions, the fierce nuclear fire in the reactor's core can make a disastrous excursion in a fraction of a second...
