...Bundestag met for a two-day debate on the new threat to West Germany's security, Chancellor Kurt Kiesinger expressed his people's anxiety in careful, guarded terms. "The events in Czechoslovakia compel us to exercise a high degree of vigilance," he said. "While the nuclear balance has diminished the threat of an all-out nu clear war, it also made a conventional attack by a potential enemy no longer seem impossible...
...continued to hammer on the need for immediate ratification of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty; Nixon favors delay. Addressing himself to the issue of crime and violence, Humphrey produced a cogent set of proposals that would provide large-scale federal assistance to state and local authorities in improving not only police forces but judicial and correction services as well...
...Father. Her younger sister, Li Min, has been on the revolutionary stage only since last summer.

Trouble is, the radon turns, by nuclear alchemy, into lead-210, the radioactive isotope of that normally dull metal. The lead-210 adheres to the gold. Even so, the intact seeds are safe because the lead's rays, unlike the radon's, remain...
