...Mussolini's son Vittorio once expressed the "enjoyment" he felt when he bombed a cluster of Ethiopians. Now Captain Lee of the U.S. expresses the same savage emotion. In the nuclear age, this kind of blood lust will result in the evaporation of Lee-and thee...
...theology because it takes into account both the post-Freudian understanding of man and the discoveries of modern physics. Classical metaphysics, says Cobb, got hung up on its static conception of reality; it assumed that a thing had an underlying, unchangeable substance-a notion rendered meaningless by discoveries of nuclear physics. Whitehead's view, more in harmony with contemporary science, is that the fundamental reality in the universe is the fact of becoming or change. Denying that there is any such thing as unchangeable substance in reality, he argued that the enduring objects of the world must be understood...
Science these days seems all but omnipotent. Its practitioners build nuclear weapons powerful enough to pulverize much of the world; they put together space vehicles with which man can probe deep into the solar system and beyond. The time seems close when experimenters may actually create life in the laboratory. Small wonder, says Dr. Vannevar Bush, 75, honorary board chairman of M.I.T., that to the general public, scientists are "supermen" who "can do anything, given enough money...
...down in the wayside and feel there's nothing to do."

Wilson, under pressure from his left wing and fearful of nuclear proliferation, was determined to head off the U.S.-sponsored multilateral force. It was on this urgent mission that he made his first trip to the U.S. as British leader. He half expected a rebuff from Lyndon Johnson; instead Johnson promptly agreed to postpone the whole idea, to Wilson's enormous relief...
