...billion quarts of pure alcohol (the equivalent of 2.8 billion fifths of 90-proof whisky) were consumed in 1960. Bootleg whisky accounts for about another 350 million fifths...
Absolutely Pure. Kind words were no substitute for sales, and Maillol returned to Banyuls, where he hired a few local girls as weavers (he later married one of them), opened a small tapestry factory. But once again, sales were few. One day when he was nearly 40, he carved a small nude, Bather. At first Banyuls' prudery precluded his asking anyone to pose ("The best I succeeded in doing was to persuade my sister-in-law to raise her skirt a little above the knee"), but the small sculpture pleased him. He decided to stick to sculpture from then...
...style so involved with, so much one and the same thing as the matter and meaning of a novelist's work. The unmodified, unmodulated phrases are essential to the dry, tight pleasures and pains of Hemingway's world; nothing else could convey with such on-going, irresistible immediacy the pure analyzed sense of "what is." Only thus could we ever have experienced the bus ride to Burguete and the fishing in The Sun Also Rises, the mud-epic retreat in A Farewell to Arms, Pilar's tale of "the day it began" in the finest of his full-length novels...
High Temperature. If a small, pure-fusion bomb could be built to work with out a fission detonator, theorists believe that it would send its neutrons farther than the destructive reach of its heat or blast. Starting with 14 MEV (million electron volts) of energy, the neutrons would traverse about a half-mile of air and still have enough punch to kill humans protected by several feet of earth or concrete. There would be blast and heat too, but if the N-bomb was just the right size and was exploded at just the right height above the ground...
...such pure-fusion (neutron) bombs be built? As Senator Dodd remarked, scientists will not say that the job is impossible (TIME, Feb. 10). But nearly all agree that it is extremely difficult. Since N-bombs cannot have fission detonators and still act like N-bombs, some other detonator must be found that can raise the temperature of the fusion ingredients to some 1,000,000° C. so that they can start to react. So far, no chemical explosive or other nonfission detonator has remotely approached this temperature. Until something comes near this goal, there is little point in demanding...
