Such a play, ANTA Producer Robert Whitehead reasoned last April, might prove a special tonic for the peril-surfeited people of France. He hand-picked Skin as his own pet project for inclusion in a "Salute to France." This cultural export (financed by thousands of U.S. donors) plunked down before Parisians the Philadelphia Orchestra. New York City Ballet, two U.S.-sponsored art shows, plus first-class stage productions of Oklahoma! and Medea (TIME, June...
...believing Soviet Russia is more sinned against than sinning. She thus can elbow the United States out of the Eastern Hemisphere, dismember NATO, neutralize Western Europe, and put across her fake peace-and-disarmament plan which, once completed, would leave her mistress of the world.. Such is the peril. Fortunately, President Eisenhower sees it quite clearly...
Secrecy-or Peril? Dr. Peters, who is due to retire from Yale next year, appealed entirely "as a matter of principle."

He admitted having taken part in causes with Communist connections. At three loyalty proceedings, he answered all questions, affirmed his loyalty, and denied under oath that he was a Communist...
Cigar-Shaped Peril. In the Pacific last March, the hydrogen bomb test at Bikini Atoll sent a shower of deadly radioactive dust (mostly pulverized coral) over a vast cigar-shaped area extending 220 miles downwind from the blast. Along a strip up to 20 miles wide, extending 140 miles downwind, the fall-out-if it had come down in a populated area-would have seriously threatened the lives of nearly every human. At a distance of 160 miles the lives of half the people would be threatened; at 190 miles 5% to 10% might die (varying with individual reaction...
...computations are based on the worst possible conditions, i.e., they assume that no one would take protective measures. Paradoxically, old and simple steps are highly effective against the new and horrible peril. Taking shelter in an old-fashioned Kansas cyclone cellar with a 3-ft. ceiling of earth until the fallout is over will reduce the immediate radiation absorbed by a human being to a safe level, even in the worst fallout area...
