Secretary Dulles observed that he was not "adamant" against four-power talks, now that West Germany was safely riveted into the Western alliance. But was a meeting at the summit either safe or desirable? In the past, he pointed out, such meetings had led to "slipshod" work (he was obviously thinking of Yalta), and the Russians had taken advantage of "general agreements" only to cause trouble later.

...Needle to Blame? It now appears that a vaccine can pass rigorous tests and still not be safe for human beings; it seems possible that the arm muscle of the young human animal is the most sensitive of all testing materials for polio virus. It looks as though a vaccine containing only a few stray particles of active virus-which might do no harm to a monkey or great ape when injected into the brain or spinal cord-may touch off paralytic disease when injected into a child...

Brilliant young Theoretical Physicist Richard Feynman is a master at breaking lock and safe combinations (during World War II, he made the rounds of Los Alamos safes, depositing "Guess who?" notes in them). In his spare time, Nobel Chemist Linus Pauling likes to blast away at the souped-up claims of advertisers (he once completely deflated a popular chlorophyll deodorant by proving that instead...
