Monty also confided that he wanted to examine the racial situation in South Africa, but in doing so did not plan to meet any nonwhite leaders. In any event, his mind seemed already made up, for he told South Africans, "You're going ahead with solving your own problems, and that should be enough...
...dinner in Vientiane, Premier Phoui Sananikone fervently repeated that his country was determined to stay out of the cold war, and Hammarskjold pointedly replied that "all Laos' friends will rejoice in that statement." Five days later, having thus made it clear that he was not on hand to disturb Laotian neutrality (which was imposed by the 1954 Geneva agreement), Hammarskjold was able to proceed with his plan. He invited Economics Expert Sakari Tuomioja, conservative-minded onetime Premier of Finland, to go to Laos as the Secretary-General's personal representative...
...says Touré, proclaiming his creed to be "Pan-African neutralism."

...magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) electric generator, works on the principle that any conductor of electricity that is moved through a magnetic field will generate in itself a current of electricity. This applies not only to copper wires (as in conventional generators), but to gases, which become conductors when they are made so hot that some of their atoms separate (ionize) into electrically charged particles. If forced through a magnetic field, a stream of ionized gas causes an electrical current to flow across it. This principle has been known for years, and many efforts have been made to apply it practically...
