...husbands, the loyalty of scholar officials to their superior the emperor. This system did not believe in the equality of all men, which was obviously untrue. It believed in selecting the talented, training them in the orthodoxy, and promoting them as officials to keep the populace under control and maintain the system. We need not labor the point that China today still has a ruling class selected for their abilities who propagate a true teaching under a sage ruler and strive to keep the various social classes in order...
Today we find ourselves in an onerous situation trying to maintain the power balance in East Asia. It is reminiscent in some ways of the colonial wars of the nineteenth century, a type of situation that we generally succeeded in avoiding in that era. I do not contend that we today are simply nineteenth century imperialists come back to life, any more than Chairman Mao is actually a resurrected Son of Heaven in a blue boiler suit.

Somewhere out in the vast reaches of space and time, there are sources of energy as yet unimagined by man-unbridled physical reactions that dwarf any conceivable nuclear explosion...
Hoyle and Fowler are disputed by other scientists who maintain that gravitational collapse of such a very massive star would quickly result in a mind-boggling consequence: the Schwarzschild singularity. In 1916, German Astronomer Karl Schwarzschild used Einstein's equations to demonstrate that very massive bodies can literally gravitate themselves out of the observable universe. When such stars contract to a critical size during catastrophic collapse, Schwarzschild calculated, their gravity becomes so strong that it prevents any matter, or even radiation, from escaping into space. As a result, the stars simply disappear from view; they would be detectable only...
