...easier to see the split than to know how to exploit it. British Foreign Secretary Lord Home was heard last week to predict that "some time, sooner rather than later, it will be revealed to the leaders of Russia that her ties are with the West."

Lord Rutherford proved that though the very name atom means "indivisible" in Greek, atoms are not indivisible. Nothing seemed certain. One physicist declared that all students should be warned: "Caution! Dangerous structure! Closed for reconstruction...
