...Like sturdy tweed and good Scotch, the nanny has been exported to the whole world. From Brighton and Cheltenham and Tunbridge Wells she has gone forth in her sensible shoes to teach the English way to King Hussein, ex-King Farouk, Prince Rainier, and the daughters of the King of Denmark. So ubiquitous was her kind, in fact, that former French Premier Georges Bidault once bitterly complained: "Too many important Frenchmen have been given an inferiority complex for life by being brought up by English nannies...
...down their revised findings (TIME, Jan. 12, 1959 et seq.) that known techniques of seismic detection of underground tests were completely unreliable. The U.S. had gone into the Geneva talks 14 months before on the basis of a single seismic detection of a single underground test explosion-the Rainier shot in September 1957-but had pulled up short after the Hardtack shots in Nevada in October 1958 could not be distinguished from small earthquakes. The Russian scientists had agreed to consider the evidence. Instead, the U.S.S.R.'s Evgeny Fedorov charged in the Geneva report that it was "the brink...
Knowledge about the identification of underground tests and of those beyond the atmosphere, however, was sketchy. There was, at that time, only the one Mt. Rainier underground explosion to serve as an example. The only observable products of an underground explosion are shock waves, waves which are very similar to those of an earthquake. The experts concluded that a control system of 180 stations equipped with seismographs would be adequate to detect with "good probability" explosions of five kilotons or more. Such a system could also spot tests of smaller extent but with less reliability...
