...hard requirements of security, and the assertion of freedoms, together thrust upon us a dilemma not easily resolved. In the present international situation our security measures exist, in the ultimate analysis, to protect our free institutions and traditions against repressive totalitarianism and its inevitable denial of human values. . . We share the hope that some day we may return to happier times when our free institutions are not threatened and a peaceful and just world order is not such a compelling principal preoccupation.

JORDAN "would long ago have ceased to exist as an independent state" but for the $200 million it got from Britain, U.N., aid to Palestine refugees and Point Four. One benefit: Jordan's Arab Legion is "the best-trained combat force in any of the Arab states...

Last week a group at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, headed by Professor Bruno Rossi, reported that a strange intruder from space had entered one of its cosmic-ray cloud chambers. When it first showed up, it behaved like a rather slow-moving heavy particle. Then it hit a brass plate in the apparatus and set off three powerful electron "cascades" that appeared to have been started by high-energy gamma rays...
...free choice in a gigantic plant rising from the basement of Widener's stacks to the star fixed on the eye-piece of an observatory telescope. Whether or not he uses these facilities is up to him, but the very fact that they exist pose problems of selection which an undergraduate in an ordinary four-year college never faces. With such opportunities the Harvard undergraduate finds interests which he never suspected existed and which in large measure help to develop him as a scholar and as an individual...

The aim must now be to speed production ... to ensure that as many as possible of these magnificent aircraft will be in service as soon as possible." Last week Britain found that doubts did exist about Comets II and III. De Havilland suspended all work on the new jets until it found the reason for the Comet I crashes...
