Where, then, can this vast amount of energy come from? Hoyle and Fowler rule out hydrogen fusion and other nuclear reactions that go on in the sun. Such reactions do not take place suddenly enough, or provide enough energy. The only reasonable remaining source of energy is gravitation, which can grow incredibly strong when a very large amount of matter is gathered together. This energy is released when something happens that permits a large mass of material to fall toward a center of gravitational attraction...
Patriotism has long existed, either as applied to a locality or as extended to an empire. But the fusion of patriotism with nationality and the predominance of national patriotism over all other human loyalties-which is nationalism-is modern, very modern." The revolutions in America and France established the principle that the citizens of any state, if dissatisfied with the conduct of their society, have the right and power to install new leaders. The Declaration of the Rights of Man, drafted by Marquis de Lafayette, proclaimed that "the principle of sovereignty resides essentially in the Nation: no body...
...academic subject, pursued almost entirely in university research laboratories. The Bell Telephone Laboratories discovered that an alloy of tin and niobium remains superconducting in strong magnetic fields.'' And it is in just such extremely strong magnetic fields that scientists need to conduct sophisticated experiments in controlled nuclear fusion...
...probably equal or exceed the 1959 peak, but they are not alarmed. The fission energy yield of the Soviet 1958 tests was 10 to 15 megatons. The total energy of last fall's Soviet tests was much greater (170 mega tons), but most of it came from nuclear fusion, which creates little fallout. Only about 25 megatons came from nuclear fission of uranium or plutonium, and since many of the Russian tests were exploded at high altitudes, their dangerous fission products will presumably stay aloft for longer periods of time and lose more of their activity by natural decay...
FOCUS (Stan Getz; Verve). For reasons obscure, jazz musicians these days have a yen to go classical. This latest attempted fusion of longhair and brushcut involves seven pieces for string ensemble by Composer-Arranger Eddie Sauter against which Saxophonist Getz pins his softly twining improvisations. The string pieces are in fact little more than an assortment of film-style clichés, but Getz's solos-soaring, tumbling and melting-are worth the price of the album...
