...automatic controls were shut off, and the reactor was made to surge without them. A technician stood ready at the manually operated controls, waiting for a command from the scientist in charge. Deep under its shield the core grew hotter and hotter, its temperature rising toward the danger point. The scientist, watching the instruments, told the technician to shut the reactor off instantly, but his order was misunderstood; the technician used control devices that were too slow. Before they could take effect the core had partially melted. Instruments warned of radiation danger, the alarm was given, and the building...

Because of deep-seated political habits, organization, and laws, which protect the position of the two established parties against newcomers, the emergence of a new political party as the Republican party developed in 1856 seems out of the question, except perhaps in the spiritual as well as material upheaval that might develop out of a nuclear war. Therefore, the new majority will almost certainly be based on one of the existing parties, as on two of the three previous occasions in our history when a new consensus was forged from established political groups...
Simonson emphasized that the theatre should have the finest lighting equipment available and an hydraulically operated forestage which could be raised or lowered when necessary. The stage itself should be at least 75 feet wide and 45 feet deep and the auditorium should have the benefit of the most advanced acoustical developments at the University's disposal...
