...Supreme Court majority did hold that Cutter Laboratories of California had the "just cause" required by its union contract for firing a Communist woman employee. But Justice William Douglas, bitterly dissenting, argued in effect that the Communists are simply another political party and that an employee might just as well be dismissed for being a Republican. The dissent came despite the clear judgment of Congress, as expressed in specific legislation, that the Communists form a conspiracy, not a political party.

Human scientists have better nuclear fuel than the stars have, but they cannot hold their gases together gravitationally. No material container can do the trick, either; its walls would be melted instantly if they came in contact with reacting gases at the necessary high temperature...
