...sure of what he must do. The Chancellor summoned the Cabinet, ordered his ministers to stop squabbling and get rearmament moving. He lectured a caucus of Christian Democratic Deputies, pointing out that the Suez crisis "illustrates the need for conventional arms and forces" even in the age of the hydrogen bomb. The U.S. had, he declared, "adopted a certain turning-away-from-Europe policy" which made the construction of a new army all the more imperative. "We cannot stand by with our hands in our pockets waiting for others to protect us," said der Alte sternly...
Turning to Stevenson's proposal that the U.S. should stop testing hydrogen bombs if other nations would agree, Nixon said: "I respectfully submit that for us to have followed this advice would have been not only naive but dangerous to our national security. To have taken such action would have been like telling police officers that they should discard their weapons, provided the lawbreakers would throw away their machine guns...
From then on, as scientific experiment became more and more a closely guarded secret the world over, nobody heard much of anything about Peter Kapitsa. But in the years following World War II, when the menace of the hydrogen bomb loomed large and black, the thoughts of many a scientist who had known Kapitsa harked back to the days of his early and significant experiments on the behavior of hydrogen. It was presumed that if Russia had indeed perfected an H-bomb, Kapitsa's vast knowledge must have been of considerable help. The Russian government granted him a long...
When thermonuclear reactors are finally achieved, said Teller, they will have several advantages. Their fuel, deuterium, is inexhaustible and it needs no processing after it has been separated from common hydrogen. They will become highly radioactive because of neutrons released within them, but unlike atomic fission reactors they will not contain large amounts of dangerous radioactive material that might be scattered by an accident. On the other hand, they will probably be harder to operate and maintain...
...baggage smashers in Baltimore and Washington, a double dose of gamma globulin and a dose of polio vaccine, and disinfect the plane. The passengers were allowed to take their luggage after it had been sluiced down with alcohol. The plane's interior got a dousing with hydrogen peroxide (the entire stock of three drugstores), Lysol and isopropyl alcohol. After consulting the Public Health Service, Capital ordered the same crew to fly the plane back to Washington, promptly pressed it into service again with another crew. It hopped to Norfolk, Va., then made a milk-run flight through Washington, Cleveland...
