Unless the problem can be dealt with otherwise, "we must soon arrive at a policy of keeping buildings open in spite of bomb threats," said Gross...
...Seven Storey Mountain, the best-selling 1948 autobiography that made a young Trappist monk named Thomas Merton a worldwide sensation, dealt with only part of a life that ended suddenly when Merton, studying Buddhism in Asia, was accidentally electrocuted in Bangkok in 1968. Edward Rice's ingenuous, openhearted memoir rounds out the 33 Mountain years and gives substantial shape to Merton's later years. As biography, the book is frankly worshipful...
...little trouble silencing its antagonists. Then, early in 1970, a new trend developed. Initially centered on rather specific, often personal grievances, it has evolved into a concerted movement for peace that has so far proved impossible to exorcise.

...J.P.L. experimenters reduced the margin of error to 4% or less by locating the distant spacecraft within 100 ft. of their actual position. Thus, when they calculated that the signal to Mariner was slowed down by 204 millionths of a second on its round trip, they dealt the Brans-Dicke theory a sharp if not decisive blow. Their measurement was only 4 millionths of a second off the Einsteinian prediction, but 18 millionths of a second off the Brans-Dicke figure...
