...with last year's NATO force of 18 active divisions, this is an improvement; compared with the 100 divisions and 7,000 aircraft that Russia has available, it remains dangerously inadequate. More important, the roll call of Allied "reserves" is woefully short. Some 20 reserve divisions exist in embryo, but few would be ready for action within the 30-day mobilization period specified by NATO. Without more reserves, says NATO Supreme Commander General Matthew B. Ridgway, Europe lacks the minimum military requirement to "take and turn a Russian assault...
...Tokyo, Foreign Minister Katsuo Okazaki and U.S. Ambassador Robert Murphy signed an agreement (already approved by Congress) transferring 50 U.S. landing craft and 18 frigates to Japan's Coastal Safety Force (embryo navy) on a five-year-loan basis. The news created hardly a ripple in either country, though in 1942 any U.S. serviceman in the Pacific would have been laughed down had he predicted such a turn of events in one decade...
Under the benign but urgent eye of the U.S., Japan is beginning to equip itself for defense. Japan's Safety Corps (embryo army) is training with U.S. Pershing tanks, bazookas, antiaircraft guns, heavy mortars, howitzers. This force, which now musters 80,000 men, will have 110,000 effectives by year's end. The new Japanese air force will start training next month at Hamamatsu, 140 miles southwest of Tokyo.

...while the embryo women's college was coming to its own, foreign inventors were busily at work on the first automobiles. The step from Honry Ford's car to the paddy wagon was a short one, and riot-quellers were soon provided with a new weapon. The Black Maria, in turn, hastened the discovery of the Eezy Meeny Miny Moe Ringleader Detection Technique...
...class, frequently loses track of ten carbon atoms in his blackboard equations. In his laboratory, he is a craftsman, who runs through experiments with precision technique. He wipes his hands on the white towel that perennially hangs from his hip pocket, he blows clouds of cigarette smoke toward his embryo compounds, and blanks his butts in a water faucet. Outside the lab, he writes books on arson and lectures in all parts of the world...
