...largely the nuclear threat that keeps the West from exploiting Red weakness and rolling back Communism. As Rusk put it at Geneva, the Russian attitude makes no sense unless Moscow has decided that it must continue testing and arming. Said Rusk: "The groundwork has all been laid. Only one element is missing: Soviet willingness to conclude an agreement...
...There is more to measuring productivity than the one element of output per man-hour. What about the capital invested in more efficient equipment? What about the research which produced better production processes and the know-how which made available higher quality materials? What about the input of management, which directed and contributed to all of this effort...
...this is the issue that has virtually split open the staff of the Center for Research in Personality. The most vociferous critics of psilocybin research believe that it is not conducted for scientific purposes, and that the experimenters are interested in experience rather than reporting their results. A major element of the defense of research contends that scientific method and reportable results are the goal of the research. But a second element of the defense claims that experience is a legitimate goal of inquiry, and that psilocybin should be used in order to heighten perception so that the experimenters...
Late Regret. It is difficult to see how. Their religious element is mostly discussion of erudite Anglican minutiae and spiritual snobbisms that are more likely to chill the unconverted than warm them.

Not all the long years of happiness...

Starting with only a few scientific guidelines, the physicists had to create new instruments, materials, processes, even a new element: plutonium. They had to write new reference books in a new technical jargon. Their basic raw material, uranium, was a chemical curiosity. To get it in carload lots, they needed a new mining industry with a novel and tricky technology...
