Silvera is best known for his low-temperature work with single atoms of hydrogen, which are normally found only in pairs. Research on hydrogen, the simplest element, often results in useful information about other elements...
EDWARD TELLER, "father" of the hydrogen bomb and a Reagan Administration science adviser: I hope [the nuclear-freeze movement] will not become an important force. I hope more sense will prevail. If the nuclear freeze goes through, this country won't exist in 1990. The Soviet Union is a country that has had totalitarian rule for many hundreds of years, and what a relatively small ruling class there might do can be very different from what a democratic country can decide to do.

In the 1950s it was common for American children to practice air raid drills at school, climbing under their desks while instructors coached them not to look out the window at the fireball if it came.

Unfortunately, the machine that churns it out depends on what Allie calls "poison," a highly volatile mixture of hydrogen and enriched ammonia. It is an accident waiting to happen...
...European capitals, and world statesmen, including Pope John Paul II, West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt and President Reagan, expressed their concern. The Soviets have always held back from taking extreme measures against Sakharov because of his international celebrity as the much decorated nuclear physicist who helped develop the Soviet hydrogen bomb. He later went on to gain greater fame as the champion of human rights in the U.S.S.R. and the winner of the 1975 Nobel Peace Prize, though he has been roundly vilified in the Soviet press. The Soviets' fear of incurring worldwide opprobrium was compounded a month...
