...perhaps diplomas and commencement are not all. They exist because we have created a boundary for them to mark; perhaps it is the boundary that we should question...
Around four large wooden desks in a dirty greystone building in West Berlin, an American, a Briton, a Frenchman and a Russian work together 24 hours a day, almost as if the cold war did not exist. This is Berlin's Air Safety Center, where the West advises East of its flights up the three air corridors over Communist territory from West Germany. The system is supposed to avoid accidents; in fact, it neatly ties the Soviets to tacit recognition of the West's rights to fly the disputed airlanes. Many Western officers think Russia will...
Though U.S. admen admit that inexcusable waste and silly, shoddy products do exist in the U.S. marketplace, they insist that even the most sophisticated modern advertising cannot artificially create desires, but can only stimulate existing desires by telling people what goods can be had, what they are like, what satisfactions they bring. By so doing, the admen argue, their trade contributes to mass demand for products, mass employment, mass distribution and mass buying-all of which are essential elements in the creation of mass affluence. Madison Avenue's case for itself thus closely mirrors the case for free enterprise...
...Question of Power. Perhaps the most decisive answers came from thinkers who questioned the very reality of world opinion that the U.S. has sought to court. Theologian Reinhold Niebuhr says: "World opinion doesn't really exist." So also argues University of Chicago Political Scientist Hans (Politics Among Nations) Morgenthau (TIME, July 7).

"This world opinion we pay so much attention to is largely a myth," he says. "It is true that there...
...will ever see the little particle, but theoretical physicists-those mystic prophets of science-calculated several years ago that an unknown heavy meson probably can exist. Like the neutron, they figured, it would have no electric charge, so it would leave no track in a cloud or bubble chamber. They were sure it would disintegrate so quickly that other signs of its brief career would be hard to find. But the theoreticians considered the undiscovered particle so important that they named it omega in advance, implying that it might be the last unknown particle left in nature's locker...
