...shelters. Some authorities, like Scientist Edward Teller (TIME, Jan. 21), even envisaged a vast underground network where men could survive for an indefinite time after an attack. Civil Defense Administrator Leo Hoegh (who replaced Peterson last July) has, like the Gaither committee, virtually abandoned the blast-shelter idea in favor of fallout shelters. Reason: radioactive fallout, with all its dangers, can be fought; it comes as a delayed reaction of nuclear explosions, produces aftereffects more slowly.

His conversation also ranged far and wide, included a sermonette on the hazards of jaywalking. Scarcely was this out of his mouth when, crossing a street with the green light in his favor, Truman almost got mowed down by a car rushing a semaphore.
