...have much/little helpful/ harmful effect on world opinion?" Taken literally, said one of the officers who received the form, the check list would make him turn down virtually all reporters' requests for information. Under fire for the check list and his fuzzy policies, Honaman got himself into even hotter water with the press by suggesting that editors should voluntarily refrain from publishing any information that they thought might be helpful to the Russians, even if it was not classified...
According to his theory, this meant that the rock in its core was getting hotter and approaching the melting point. In December came the proof: the volcano had a small but definite eruption. In 1953 and 1954 the pattern was repeated. Whenever the volcano's magnetism diminished appreciably, a period of activity followed in two to six months. The greater the change in magnetism, the stronger the activity...
Washington was warm during 1917, but things were decidedly hotter in Petrograd. On the night of October 24 Lenin and a well-organized group of Bolsheviks overthrew the provisional government and proclaimed themselves the new rulers of Russia. News of the revolt shocked the whole world, but it positively astounded the members of the Russian embassy in Washington. On the next day Karpovich himself decoded a cable from Trotsky, in which the Bolshevik leader said that if the diplomats there would recognize the new regime they might continue to represent Russia, but if not, would they please vacate the embassy...
...liberal editor of the Greenville (Miss.) Delta Democrat-Times, Hodding Carter has elected to stand in the middle ground of the hottest journalistic issue (TIME, Jan. 17) in the South: desegregation of the public schools.

Wrote Carter: "This is precisely the kind of inflammatory approach to interracial...
Temperature Does It. As far as nuclear research is concerned, the tremendous heat of the new-style explosion is more important than the H-bomb itself. The hotter the reaction, the faster atomic particles move. In the hottest reactions they may move at such speed that they shatter normally stable atoms. If these atoms are large ones, e.g., U-238 or thorium, their splitting releases still more energy. This process, now called thermofission, was described in the 1945 Smyth Report...
