Perhaps the most important U.S. contribution at Geneva was the declassification, some of it even after the conference opened, of a parade of precise details of the atomic process, e.g., how to extract uranium concentrates from raw uranium ore. With this new knowledge, other nations could save years of duplicating research, speed up their atomic programs with less cost and effort. For the small, underdeveloped nations, in particular, the rich buffet of know-how was a memorable feast. Waving a thick sheaf of scholarly reports, one Israeli scientist declared happily: "This'll keep me busy for years...

To me, [Dolly] and her father are despicable people . . . motivated ... by greed for money." Astor's lawyer, W. F. Parker, had more than agreed during the hearing, crying: "Your Honor, the truth...
...such as quinine and reserpine from primitive cures. But the vast majority are as useless as ground-up rhinoceros horn to cure impotence. Still, the peasants are being ordered to plant more medicinal herbs, and Government agencies are buying them and keeping prices down. Government chemists are trying to extract pills and concentrates...
