...Cover) In 1946, Dr. Hans Thirring, a Viennese scholar without access to secret information, read certain published reports that could be found in any physics library. Going about the scientist's business of mating known facts to breed new facts, Dr. Thirring made and published calculations leading to the conclusion that out of lithium hydride could be constructed a bomb many times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. At the end of his austere equations, Dr. Thirring's scientific article flamed up into a prayer: "God protect the country over which a six-ton bomb...
...senior drilling inspector at the Department of Energy's Nevada Test Site, Rufus Moore usually pays scant attention to the antinuclear protesters who often appear at the perimeter of the top-secret patch of desert 65 miles northwest of Las Vegas. The 1,350-sq.-mi. site in the Nellis Range has absorbed hundreds of underground blasts as the U.S. has fine-tuned its nuclear arsenal. For Moore, 54, a cigar-chomping veteran of hundreds of such tests, nuclear deterrence and superpower peace depend on the results. "The minute we stop testing, we're in trouble," he says...
When Baghdad's notorious Adhamiya district exploded in vicious gun battles last week, few were really surprised.

It is not yet clear who was responsible for Monday's triple bombing in Dahab, but the Hamas-led Palestinian government instantly condemned "this criminal act which flouts our religion, shakes Palestinian national security and works against Arab interests". Strong stuff, particularly from a government that only last week had labeled a Tel Aviv suicide bombing by Islamic Jihad a "legitimate...
...general John Helgerson. If the allegations against her prove true, they will be especially embarrassing to the I.G., who is the agency's in-house watchdog. For McCarthy, the ramifications could go beyond losing her job. The Justice Department is pursuing an investigation into leaks about the CIA's secret detention network and could fold McCarthy's case into that inquiry. A law-enforcement official says Justice was contacted by the CIA about this case late last week...
