...only nation in the Western alliance with unresolved border problems, hence the only nation likely to use "nukes" in passion. What does bother them are the recent blunt remarks attributed to De Gaulle that he is now dead set against Bonn's having control of any strategic nuclear weaponry, or even engaging in nuclear planning. "We are alarmed," said a Bonn official. "The noise itself is not new. What is new is De Gaulle's saying to outsiders that while France must not be integrated in NATO in any way, the Germans must be integrated...
Visit by Erhard. That dropped the "nuclear sharing" ball back into Washington's hands, where divergent approaches to the future shape of the Western alliance have yet to be resolved. With West Germany's Chancellor Ludwig Erhard due to arrive in the U.S. around the end of November and anxious to learn how, when and if the U.S. plans to allow a German voice in NATO nuclear strategy, Washington was still talking about the all-but-abandoned Multilateral Force concept (rejected by De Gaulle from the start). Britain's variant Atlantic Nuclear Force, and a "select committee...
...provide nearly half of McGraw-Hill's revenues ($193 mil lion last year). But its information services and book-publishing divisions have been growing much faster than the magazines.

Even the deepest tunnels are not safe from the 1,000-lb. bombs of the Guam-based B-52s, falling in sticks neatly bracketed to decapitate a small mountain. When the big bombers, converted from carrying nuclear weapons, first began making the 5,200-mile round trip from Guam to Viet Nam, critics snorted that it was overkill run riot, using elephants to swat mosquitoes. But the point was to hit the V.C. without warning (the B-52s fly so high that they are seldom seen or heard by their targets) in the heart of their eleven major strongholds, keep...
Ever since Wilhelm Konrad Roentgen discovered his wonderful X rays in 1895, physicists and physicians have been burning themselves, and sometimes patients as well, with accidental overdoses. And like the damage from exposure to more recently discovered sources of nuclear energy, X-ray burns have proved virtually incurable. Despite skin grafts, they often lead to progressive gangrene and successive amputations one famed "Xray martyr," Chicago's late Dr. Emil Grubbé, had no fewer than 93 operations before he died...
