...fact that in trying to crash the gates of the Wethersfield base, they had conspired to violate Britain's Official Secrets Act. Backing him up, the bench brushed aside the defendants' attempts to question witnesses on ethical rather than on factual grounds. One such witness was U.S. Scientist Linus Pauling, an ardent ban-the-bomber who had flown to London from California specially to testify on behalf of the defendants. When he was asked his views about civil defense, disarmament and nuclear war, Mr. Justice Havers ruled the questions out of order. Philosopher Bertrand Russell, still belligerent...

But his successor, General Helmuth von Moltke, was a Christian Scientist, a cello player, and a cautious man: he weakened the right wing to strengthen the line elsewhere. When the preposterous Russians, unequipped, untrained and unafraid, invaded East Prussia, Moltke forgot Schlieffen and diverted two corps from the Belgian drive to the Russian front. The two corps were never needed; General Erich Ludendorff routed the Russians at Tannenberg before his reinforcements arrived...
