...like "tornadoes, fires and earthquakes" would do some good. "The sound approach," said Rear Admiral Parsons, "is to add atomic blast and radiation flash to the list of natural and man-made catastrophes which may at some time be encountered ... If we look ahead five or ten years we must consider the possibility of encountering atomic blast. This possibility may for some places be so small that it can be neglected. We should make every effort to add atomic facts of life-subtle and obvious, pleasant and unpleasant-to our folklore. [But] an attempt to provide complete (necessarily underground) protection...
...replacement capital cannot come from individuals of either class, it must come from the state. Can the state, without calamity, take a higher bite in taxes out of all the incomes of its citizens? The Economist thinks not. In fact, it said: "The long continuance of taxation of anything like 40% of the national income will ruin the country.

At Gulfstream Park, Fla., Coaltown stuck out his long neck and stormed a mile and a quarter in 1:59.8, to tie the world record for that distance too. Other winners...
...years later, back at New Haven, he began his teaching of 18th Century literature. He found it easy to follow the rule he gave would-be scholars: "You must fall in love with your subject." In time, he came to know as much about Johnson and Boswell as any man alive. His own boots, including the Tinker edition of Boswell's letters, were milestones in 18th Century scholarship, outdated only by the further probings of Chauncey Tinker himself. It was he who, tracing the leads all the way to Ireland in 1925, first confirmed the existence of the great...
