...ominous debate over nuclear testing, an ominous phrase, "the neutron bomb," echoed across the U.S. last week. It resounded through Congress, leaked into the press, was broadcast on TV and radio. Connecticut's Democratic Senator Thomas J. Dodd, the N-bomb's most enthusiastic proponent, told the Senate: "We are in mortal peril. More than a year has passed since I first spoke on the folly of the test-ban moratorium. I mentioned the neutron bomb would operate as a kind of death ray. It would do next to no physical damage and result in no contamination...
...such pure-fusion (neutron) bombs be built? As Senator Dodd remarked, scientists will not say that the job is impossible (TIME, Feb. 10). But nearly all agree that it is extremely difficult. Since N-bombs cannot have fission detonators and still act like N-bombs, some other detonator must be found that can raise the temperature of the fusion ingredients to some 1,000,000° C. so that they can start to react. So far, no chemical explosive or other nonfission detonator has remotely approached this temperature. Until something comes near this goal, there is little point in demanding...
...contributions toward Castro tractors, and Byrd is the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, which has a lot to say about such things. By the dozens, Senators and Representatives arose to denounce the bargain. Among the most effective speeches was one by Connecticut's Democratic Senator Thomas Dodd. Said he: "Our national concern for the plight of the Cubans . . . should have been evidenced by effective help on the beachhead to enable their just revolution to succeed.

...abuse, this conscious break with the past must stand as the NEB's most conspicuous excellence; it gives the new translation an undeniable modernity and immediacy; and this, of course, has been one of the chief aims of the churchmen who prepared it. In 1951, Dr. C. H. Dodd, General Director of the whole project, as well as convener of the panel of New Testament translators, promised that the New English Bible "is to be genuinely English in idiom, such as will not awaken a sense of strangeness or remoteness." In the same manner, the Introduction, published with...
Professor Dodd and his fellow translators have aimed at objects in an airy height; but despite the no doubt earnest efforts of those literary advisers, the language of the New English Bible: New Testament is all that the churchmen have sought to avoid...
