...enough firepower of their own to blow an unfriendly gunboat out of the water. And the bipolar alliances that arose from the ashes of World War II almost inevitably ensure that a blow struck at a weak nation may be answered by a considerably more powerful ally. As a result, the big powers' key problem is how to control the actions of their smaller brethren: consciously or unconsciously, small nations have come to realize that they can act with relative impunity to achieve their own goals. The United Nations, once looked upon as a potential peace-keeping force, seems...
Explorer I originally achieved an orbit that ranged from 219 to 1587 miles above the earth's surface. But as a result of friction with the atmosphere--extremely thin at those heights--the spacecraft's altitude slowly dropped. When a satellite's speed decreases from orbit to orbit, it cannot counterbalance the earth's gravitational field and slowly loses altitude...

It was the judgment of the Commission that "the public interest is best served by presenting any views that are not a clear and present danger and evil . . . free speech that we abhor and hate is as legal as that which find...
