Happy or not, the crackpots soon unleashed the Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse, the atomic bomb. Ever since, Los Alamos, like Bethlehem in Judea, has been a place difficult to visit in a neutral frame of mind. Los Alamos is part rich, overachieving exurb beset by worldly goods and ills familiar all over the U.S., but raised to the nth power; part lonely company town. But, above all, it is an intellectual hothouse not quite like any other...
...international norms of jurisprudence. For the sake of the embassy personnel and in the interest of international law, research should be undertaken immediately to study the possibility of recognizing the legitimacy of the Iranian people's claim for a trial, and eventually the possibility of conducting a trial on neutral territory. Geneva, for instance, has the facilities for such a procedure and there the Shah would be able to get the kind of medical help his doctors would insist on. The possibility of putting on trial even a head of state would also, in the long run, be a sound...

One obvious danger is that Hanoi might risk a direct attack into Thailand. Said a top Western diplomatic observer in Bangkok last week: "The war can easily spill over into Thailand. Hanoi wants very badly to get rid of the Khmer Rouge...
This theory also allowed physicists to make stunning predictions of the relativity poorly understood weak forces, almost all of which have since been vindicated. Perhaps the most important of these predictions is that of the existence of "neutral currents," first observed as recently as 1974. These currents have an analogue on the electromagnetic level...
