Twenty-two months ago, "Banda" led a coalition of socialists to power in the land of star sapphires, tea terraces, umbrella-shaped shrines, and the world's most luxuriant greenery. In the process, he all but destroyed the island's only pro-Western party, the United National Party of Sir John Kotelawala. Today the chief opposition party is Trotskyite, and headed by a rabble-rousing double doctor (philosophy, science) of the University of London...
...momentarily lulled into relaxation by Russian blandishments or tempted toward neutralism by Russian threats. In the last 300 years the Turks have fought the Russians so many times they have lost count; some say there have been 13 Russo-Turkish wars, some estimate as many as 22.

We have, in a sense, been trying to do two things at the same time. First, we have sought to be a nuclear power, matching missile with missile and anti-missile with antimissile, and with large conventional forces in the Far East, the Middle...
...deuterium (heavy hydrogen) as hot as possible and confine it in a small space as long as possible. When deuterium atoms get hot enough, they hit each other so hard that they "fuse," forming helium 3 (and a neutron) or tritium (and a proton), and give off energy. This process happens explosively in H-bombs, but to control the reaction, the deuterium must be confined. Since ordinary, solid walls cannot hold the gas at the necessary temperature of many million degrees, fusion reactors use walls of magnetic force. They are strong, do not cool the gas and are not damaged...
...breath before splashing back into North Sydney's Olympic pool and churning past four more marks. He finished the 440-yd. grind in 4:25.9, which was a 400-meter record as well. He sprinted 220 yds. in 2:04.8, setting a new 200-meter mark in the process...
