Same Leopard. Nationalist China is worried about being forgotten in the press of other Asian problems facing the U.S. Chiang argued again last week that the Nationalists should seek a beachhead on the Chinese mainland before Chinese Communist nuclear strength grows any greater. "You can never expect a leopard to change its spots," he said. "The only change we can visualize is the return of our government to the mainland." The U.S. gave him no encouragement; it opposes any such move as of now. But U.S. officials consider Chiang a capable heir to President Chiang, and they are pleased that...
...weapons are produced within sight of their front doors. This sense of detachment, caused more by geography than psychology, extends even to world events. While Los Alamos residents become passionately involved in local controversies and conservation drives, they are notably uncommunicative about Viet Nam, foreign policy and threats of nuclear...
...Nuclear Swap. For all the new optimism on the East River, Fanfani faces an agenda that gives little hope of smooth sailing.

There will be demands for a vast disarmament conference that would include Peking, which the U.S. is not likely to welcome. The future of peace-keeping operations remains unresolved and controversial. To these familiar problems a new one has been added: Pakistan's threat to withdraw from...
Similar systems can be adapted to almost any fuel-electricity, natural gas, or nuclear energy. In teeming Hong Kong, a desalinization plant is powered by burning garbage. It is the more immediate problem of cost that causes the most concern. By improving technology and experimenting with large-scale operation, engineers have already lowered the average cost of desalinization from about $5 per 1,000 gallons of water in 1952 to about $1. But the goal is still far off-less than 35?, which would make desalinized water competitive in price with natural water...
Written by P. F. Sloand and recorded this summer by Barry McGuire, the song describes a world in decay, under threat of nuclear disaster, and without human aspect. After each verse beats out the 20th century's troubles at a Bob Dylan- like pace, its refrain entreats the listner to realize that the world is indeed on the eve of destruction...
