...responsible for his own success. Both these beliefs are often sadly contradicted by reality. The American's reaction is to double his efforts-work longer hours, invest more money, put more men on the job, and try to make up for lost time. His impatience is the proof of his optimism...
...four that fell over southern Spain Jan. 17, when a U.S. Air Force B-52 collided with a refueling tanker. The first three bombs -and four crew members-were quickly recovered. The fourth bomb was still missing. Though the bombs were unarmed and protected by radiation-proof shields, the U.S. was understandably anxious to get them all back. To that end, seven hundred U.S. airmen, soldiers, civilian technicians and Spanish troops were scouring a ten-sq.-mi. coastal area near Palomares, and 16 ships-including three deep-sea subs-were combing the ocean floor. All they turned up were...

On the other hand, a minuscule country like Switzerland, divided into several parts by language and custom, is proof that some fairly difficult obstacles to nationhood can be surmounted...

In the Sheppard case there is no proof that the jurors were actually influenced by the press. But if the court agrees with Sheppard that the unfavorable publicity is proof enough, then the state of Ohio must bring him to trial again within 60 days or let him go free...
When Schmidt's interpretation and Oke's proof were published in Nature, the world of science also went into a state of shock. Astronomer Greenstein promptly shelved his own unpublished quasar theory, admitting that "if it weren't for Maarten, I could have been caught with my scientific trousers down." Instead, he turned to a spectrogram that he had taken from quasar 3C 48 and - using Schmidt's redshift key - discovered that 3C 48 was re ceding even faster than 3C 273. By Hubble's law it appeared to be some 4 billion light-years...
