...necessary policy is difficult and dangerous. The danger will increase if the Communists actually carry out some commitments, and thereby again delude Americans and others with the notion of Communist "sincerity." At the moment, the non-Communist world is fairly well united, but it was welded in the intense heat of stubborn and reckless Communist aggression. If the heat is removed, will the weld hold? Or will there be a revival of French neutralism, British intellectual anti-Americanism, and another rise of Communist fellow-traveling...
...slower. He is talking then of his beloved Ireland. "Last summer, Frank O'Connor (Eddie's good friend), Kelleher, and myself read some Irish poetry in one of the House rooms. It was murderously hot. We drank beer, and Frank read. I tell you, it must have been the heat . . . but that poetry, the tears ran down my face...
...Promptly at 5:20 a.m., in pre-dawn darkness, observers stared at nothing through their heavy protective goggles and listened to the ominous "Count Down." "Zero minus five seconds," chanted the loudspeaker, "four three, two, one, zero." There was a searing flash of light and heat like the rising of a new sun.

Almost half a minute later, the shock wave itself roared...
...radioactive cloud drifted eastward. A thick, dense column of dust reached into the sky behind it; below, a flat lake dust covered vast acres of desert. An hour passed before Army helicopters brought surprisingly chipper G.I.s from the trenches. Only two miles from Ground Zero, heat and light had passed over them as they crouched face down. The grey dust cloud they saw later, they were told was not dangerously radioactive. They had learned the lesson that atom bombs may spare careful soldiers who keep their distance and are well...
Back-stroker Don Mulvey broke a Harvard record in the time trials yesterday afternoon, and then broke it again in the 200-yard finals, but he finished third in the heat. Eli Dick Thomas won in 2:07.3 minutes, and a new EISL and Harvard Pool record, and one-tenth of a second shy of the intercollegiate mark, while Army's Pete Wittereid trailed him in 2:13.2. Mulvey covered the distance in 2:14.3 minutes, eclipsing the record of 2:14.7 minutes he set earlier in the day. This, in turn, bettered John Steinhart's 1951 record...
