...than any Japanese Diet candidate in history. The transfer of power from the Liberals of ex-Premier Shigeru Yoshida to Hato-yama's Democrats was in great part a result of Hatoyama's personal popularity, his canny exploitation of Japan's disillusionment with his highhanded and distant predecessor, Yoshida. But, as Hatoyama was among the first to acknowledge, his mandate went far deeper than a change of personalities. In sweeping out the Liberals, the Japanese were sweeping away a regime that represented to the majority of Japanese a decade of meek complaisance to the commands and suggestions...
...size of the universe, Gold believes that distant galaxies, which cannot be seen because they are moving away as fast or almost as fast as light, are not real in the ordinary sense. As man's instruments improve, he can catch more and more of these runaways, and this will widen the horizon of his observable universe just as the earthly horizon is widened by climbing to a hilltop. But it is not correct, says Gold, to assume that unseen and unseeable galaxies extend into space forever beyond the cosmic horizon. For the purposes of cosmological theory, a galaxy...

Yet, I feel that the development of the hydrogen bomb should not divide those who in the past have argued about it, but rather should unite all of us who, in a close or distant way, by work or by criticism, have contributed toward its completion. Disunity of the scientists is one of the greatest dangers for our country...
Three separate drives last year, in the College, the Law School, and the other graduate schools north of the Yard, greatly multiplied costs. With an eye on expenses, the Committee has now merged these campaigns to cover all but the distant graduate schools. Even though it now has to send out nearly 4,000 letters to non-resident students, it feels that the value of a concerted drive offsets the mailing costs involved. Dudley will receive complete coverage, by mail, for the first time. In order to make the drive more appealing, the Committee has kept the number of benefiting...
