...Silence is not an effective instrument of democracy." Speaking for the French party, anti-Gaullist Albert Gazier. in a rare display of political candor, dismissed all this earnest talk as irrelevant. Don't rock our boat.

Sweden's armed forces will go to earth with its citizens. There are underground hangars for jet planes, subterranean sea pens dug out of the sides of rock-walled fjords for destroyers and submarines; barracks, repair shops, fuel dumps and munitions depots all have granite shields...

The residual radioactivity, the AECmen hope, will die down to tolerable levels in a month...
