...international field, the bill would permit the U.S. to ship nuclear source materials to allied nations which make a substantial contribution to the free world's security. The U.S. could also send to allies or regional-defense organizations, e.g., NATO, atomic-weapons information needed for 1) defense plants, 2) training personnel in using and defending themselves against atomic weapons, and 3) evaluating the enemy's atomic capabilities. However, no design secrets which would tell other countries how to build A-bombs would be revealed. To spur foreign development of industrial atomic operations, the bill would...

In medicine, it will enable pathologists to study small-scale ailments such as tooth decay and hardening of the arteries...

Population will move north, and the world's balance of power may be affected...

Giorgio Vasari coolly records that after Piero's death in 1521, "it appeared that he had lived the life of a brute rather than a man, as he had kept himself shut up and would not permit anyone to see him work. He would not allow his rooms to be swept, he ate when he felt hungry, and would never suffer the fruit trees of his garden to be pruned or trained ... for he loved to see everything wild, saying that nature ought to be allowed to look...
