...reaction was predictable, and some of it hurt. In Canada, Toronto's Globe and Mail asked: "What is the difference-leaving aside the bloodshed and brutality in Budapest-between what the Russians did in Hungary and what the U.S. has done in Lebanon? The comparison will outrage most Americans, but most of the world's population will draw it." Unfortunately, much of the world's population did. Other reactions...
...Israel the public's first reaction to the Iraqi coup-"When do we march?"-gave way to relief after the Lebanon landing. Austria, which got its independence by promising to be neutral, protested the flight of Mideast-bound troops over its territory...
Angling for a friendly reaction in the U.S., Rebel Raúl Castro's men freed the rest of their U.S. hostages last week "because of the Lebanese situation.''

The play for U.S. good will was frank. Said the rebel commander in Puriales: "If the admiral wants to send you into battle in Lebanon...

Where the researchers missed the important point was in failing to note that a man of 50 who is still in a subordinate position is likely to suffer from inferiority feelings, a sense of injustice and frustration, whereas the top executive's very position ensures him against the worst...
...enthusiasts are not really satisfied with an engine that works in so simple a way. They are already dreaming of more sophisticated schemes for long-distance flights. One of these is an engine whose nuclear fuel is a uranium-rich gas mixed with the hydrogen propellant. When the nuclear reaction starts, both gases will get hot and blast out of the nozzle. This would produce a magnificent short-duration thrust, but the wasted uranium would cost something like $150 million per takeoff. The way around this little difficulty would be some system to keep the heavy uranium atoms...
