...bomblet, packing the wallop of 1,700 tons of TNT, exploded 800 ft. underground on the AEC's Nevada proving grounds, opened up a new vista for the peaceful uses of atomic explosives (see SCIENCE). But the prospect of the bright atomic future stirred up less interest in Washington than a dispute over how far away an underground A-bomblet's shock wave can be detected. Reason: the ability to detect or conceal a test explosion has a vital bearing on the growing debate over whether the U.S. should accept Russia's proposal for a suspension...

The prospect is enough to make Dr. Zacharias chuckle: "I think the program should be classified. If the Russians find out, they will steal it from...
...Jackson is so well-equipped for public service that it would be a shame to deprive him of the right to take part in politics. Of course, I'm not sure what our position might be if Jackson were nominated and became the Democratic candidate for governor." That prospect, less interested political editors agreed, is even more remote than the chance that Clingan Jackson will quit writing about politics...
