Each of these methods, the East-West experts pointed out, has its faults. Acoustic waves from a volcanic eruption, for instance, can be mistaken for waves from a nuclear test. Seismic waves from earthquakes can be misinterpreted, too. Nuclear tests deep under the earth or ocean yield no radioactive fallout, send out no air waves or radio waves. But they do send waves through the ocean, the earth, or both. Each type of test is detectable by one or more methods...
Quick Inspection. The experts reported that 160-170 land stations and ten on anchored or drifting ships should be able to monitor the entire earth with existing instruments, which are sure to improve with time. To do the full job-which may never be needed-37 of them should be in Asia, 24 in North America, six in Europe, seven in Australia, 16 in South America. 16 in Africa, four in Antarctica and 60 on islands (see schematic map with possible locations). In regions where earthquakes are common, the stations should be closer together (625 miles) than in nonseismic areas...
Lighting up the first Horizon's 152 pages this week are captious musical memories of Composer Igor Stravinsky, an exuberant, perkily illustrated survey of pioneer ballooning, and 16 pages of photographs suggesting the glory of the earth's creation.

But "since Christ interceded for sinners," said Earth, "Christian lawyers therefore obey Christ's fulfilled law by pleading for sinners-that they may live and receive what is right for their salvation under God. This means that the Christian lawyer is duty bound to take hopeless cases, as Christ...
...Naked Earth (20th Century-Fox] may come as an unpleasant shock to Richard Todd fans. Actor Todd is well-known as the movie Robin Hood, romping boyishly about Sherwood Forest, bunging arrows at the Sheriff of Nottingham and dimpling at sight of Maid Marian. Now, all of a sudden, it turns out that he is shacked up with a Marseille whore in a thatched hut in Uganda...
