...channeled 95% of Rand brainpower into pure military research. The U.S. launched a successful intercontinental ballistic-missile program after Rand men argued that hard-to-deliver bombs would be less effective than small missile-mounted nuclear warheads. When another Rand study warned that existing intermediate Russian missiles could easily destroy U.S. SAC bases overseas, the Pentagon abandoned them at a saving of $1 billion a year. Currently, Rand experts are studying counterinsurgency techniques; its teams have served in Viet Nam for five years...
...long as I govern, I shall do everything to destroy this pest," Erhard thundered in a recent speech. He did not stop with rhetoric. Calling a Cabinet meeting on the subject, Erhard instructed Interior Minister Paul Lücke to ask regional officials to submit reports on the Gammler menace in their areas. Last week the reports came in. All agreed that West Germany's beatniks are just about as conscientious as any other West German citizens...
...that man is not quite sure what will happen if he tampers too much with natural forces. Since the atmosphere is an ecological container analogous to a Gemini capsule, any major change in the weather at one place is bound to affect the whole worldwide weather system. To destroy a typhoon threatening Kyushu might deprive a drought-ridden corner of India of needed rain or even parch Eastern Europe. To melt the icecap would almost certainly inundate much of the U.S. seaboard. Thus the masters of controlled weather would have to make sticky international and intranational decisions about which areas...
...young amputee went to Buffalo, where surgeons exchanged some of his cancerous tissue for tissue from patients with a similar form of osteogenic sarcoma. The hope was that, although the body does not treat its own cancerous cells as "foreign" and therefore does not destroy them by a rejection mechanism, each patient's system would regard the other's cells as foreign, and make immune cells to attack the cancer. If that happened, blood from one patient, containing the immune cells against a second patient's cancer, could be transfused into the second patient to attack...
This continent theory may destroy the idea that the place to look for life on Mars is in the dark regions. Because water boils at a lower temperature at lower pressures, there is little chance that water could ever exist in the liquid form in the low-pressure dark areas. In the light areas. Pollack suggested, liquid water might exist for an hour or two a day. That becomes a more likely place to look for life...
