According to Williamson, the Bible points out other sins that led to Sodom's destruction, such as idolatry and refusal to "strengthen the hand of the poor and needy" (Ezekiel 16:49). "The correct understanding of Sodom," he says, "is of a proud, self-satisfied, materialist society, acting with callous inhospitality to man and at the same time rejecting the true worship...
Somewhere among all those collisions, if theory was correct, the anti-Xi-zero particle had been born, had lived and died-all in one ten-billionth of a second. The physicists began searching through some 300,000 photographs of the reaction to find the elusive particle. Last week, nearly two years later, they reported success in Physical Review Letters...
Hopefully McGovern's speech will encourage a detailed and critical review of the proposed defense budget. If Defense Secretary McNamara's statements about the super-abundance of nuclear weapons possessed by this country are correct, the Defense department will have to present some highly compelling arguments for additional bomb purchases. McGovern approached his subject with a rich storehouse of knowledge, and his remarks displayed a careful study of the present military and economic structure of the United States. His conclusions cannot be easily dismissed...

The Kingsport next ordered Syncom to fire its hydrogen peroxide rocket to correct the slow eastward drift, and actually days will pass before Syncom's delicate guidance apparatus will jockey it into an exactly synchronous orbit. Then it is supposed to swing gently in a north-south figure-eight pattern, crossing the equator over the Atlantic Ocean while radiomen below test how well it can relay messages between distant points on the distant earth...
