Moreover, the Communists presumably know that they cannot achieve real victory until they occupy South Viet Nam's important population centers, and to do that, they must operate as large units.

Perhaps he wrote his own epitaph when, on the evening of Nov. 3, 1952, before the presidential ballots had been cast, he summed up: "I have said what I meant and meant what I said.

Still, the laboratory's new bubble chamber for the study of subnuclear particles lay twisted and scorched in the $1,000,000 wreckage. When all the evidence has been studied, the deceptively simple element may yet be exonerated. But significantly, when the accident occurred, the scientists were cautiously handling hydrogen, piping it into the 100-gal. bubble chamber...
