...Thomas Robert Malthus (1798) This famed warning has been widely revived in recent years. Only the prospect of universal nuclear destruction is viewed with more horrified relish by pessimistic social prophets than the prospect of man's inability to feed an unchecked population. The latest authority to update the Malthusian theory is British Novelist C. P. Snow (The Corridors of Power, The Two Cultures), who is celebrated for his observations on the disparity between the worlds of science and the humanities. Lord Snow issued his warning last week as he delivered the John Findlay Green lecture at Westminster College...
Modest Yet Vigorous. Such measures would cost money-money that the Europeans, protected for nearly 20 years by the U.S. nuclear umbrella, have always been loath to spend. In his 16th and farewell appearance before the ministers, U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk was as candid as Lemnitzer, telling the European partners that they must carry a greater share of the burden.

They also promised to return to Europe for maneuvers two infantry brigades and four tactical Air Force squadrons that had been...

Nixon's view is that keeping ahead of the Soviets in a nuclear race would ensure peace by demonstrating that the U.S. had not turned soft...
Died. Lise Meitner, 89, Austrian-born nuclear physicist, whose basic research was vital to the development of the atomic bomb; in Cambridge, England. In 1938, after three decades of pioneering work in radioactivity with Chemist Otto Hahn at Berlin's Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, Lise, a Jew, was forced to flee to Sweden-just when she and Hahn were on the verge of achieving nuclear fission. When Hahn sent her the details of his experiments with uranium some months later, she completed the immensely complex mathematical calculations proving that he had indeed split the atom and, in the process, released...
