...most promising solution to the air traffic problem, however, probably lies in SAGE (Semi-Automatic Ground Environment), the air defense radar network being constructed by the Defense Department at a cost of $3 billion. When it is completed, this system reportedly will be able to detect, identify and track all aircraft over the United States. If the CAA can somehow, through cooperation with the SAGE system, place its tracking operations on a semi-automatic basis, a method of effective traffic control will become possible, and the risky "visual flight" operation may be all but eliminated...
...Cessation of nuclear weapons tests by all countries through a U.N.-monitored agreement to detect violations. Detection is now conceded to be technically possible by the AEC's Dr. Willard Libby. The degree of detectability, while not absolute, is such that risks of hidden explosions are certainly less than the risks of continuing along the road we now travel...
...Extremely Dangerous." Teller was the first big-name witness. Nuclear tests, especially small ones, would be very hard to detect, said he, and the only way to be sure of detection would be to get a complete "opening up of Russia."

Harvard has served well those who have searched for intellectual and moral dignity as men of learning. It has provided a home with no locked rooms. Let nobody be confused about the meaning of sectarianism in the Memorial...
