...chorused approval, and Dulles called the report a "careful, scholarly, wise work." But then Dulles offered some reservations. The U.S. has pacts with 44 countries, he pointed out, and only 14 are included in NATO. If, for instance, the Chinese Communists attacked Formosa, the U.S. would be obligated to react without consulting NATO. This seemed to be exactly the argument Britain and France had used after their attack on Suez, but the difference, said Dulles, was that the U.S. had explained its stand on Formosa to NATO well in advance...
...potential, it must be made vitally important to both student and tutor. The primary responsibiliy for such a change in attitude rests with the departments and the tutors, for the student will almost always accept the attitude which his tutor adapts towards their mutual endeavor. Rarely will an undergraduate react with indifference to an interested and able tutor or with enthusiasm to a tutor preoccupied with his own work...

When Germans at war's end saw actual movies of concentration camp horrors, they greeted the films with skepticism and derision. Would they jeer Anne Frank off the stage? One night...
This encouragement to find allergy where none was suspected before came from Manhattan's aged (81) Allergist Arthur Fernandez Coca. Sometime medical director of Lederle laboratories, Dr. Coca did not begin to treat patients until he was 65, soon found that many who had puzzling sensitivities did not react with the usual wheal to scratch tests with any of the common causes of allergy. To explain this, he postulated that the patients must have a concealed reaction marked by quickening of the heartbeat. He called this supposed condition idioblapsis (literally, self-produced harm), sought to confirm it by noting...
...reactor will be of novel design, using heavy water as the moderator to slow down its neutrons, and liquid sodium as the coolant to extract the heat of the reaction. This combination is extremely efficient, but engineers have always shied away from it because water and liquid sodium react explosively when they come in contact. Only recently were methods devised to keep them safely apart...
