...organic chemist, a saturated fat is one whose molecules have hydrogen atoms at all the points where they can be attached. It stays solid at room temperature. Most vegetable fats are liquid, and unsaturated to varying degrees...
...Entirety. Americans, says May, use perpetual work as a defense against existential anxiety. They cannot face life itself because life as such has lost its meaning. In the U.S. this despondency has been sharply intensified by the realization that a hydrogen-bomb war could wipe out all life; so the threat of it brings every man abruptly face to face with Kierkegaard's nonexistence and Sartre's nothingness...
Hypothesis II. The second theory is known as "the steady state universe." It holds that matter is still being mysteriously created in the form of hydrogen gas. Matter appears at the rate of a few atoms per year in each cubic mile of space. As the galaxies fly apart, new galaxies form out of fresh hydrogen in the widening gaps between them. These galaxies in turn grow old, fly apart and leave the space between them free for the formation of another generation...
Even though no one in either America or Russia wants war, he says that the immediate cause of war is the preparation for it. Without hydrogen bombs and ICBMs, there would be no possibility for the accidental...

In such wars, said Murray, the U.S. would need "great numbers of tactical nuclear weapons of low-kiloton yield. Our security vitally depends on continued progress in perfecting the technology of small weapons, and this progress cannot be assured without tests." Beyond that...
