There is little question that man will get to the moon. In first landings he will have to bring his own food, water, shelter and tools. But once established, there is ample reason, within the achievements already reached or within sight, to be sure that he can learn to live there. Compared with the planets and stars, the moon probably has a mineralogical composition much like the earth's. In this recognizable state, man could live by means of today's technology, crude as it is. He could, suggests Air Force Lieut. Colonel S. E. Singer...
...Seeking Shelter. The real Soviet "upsurge" will continue to be felt, as before, in heavy industry and rocketry. The spending for defense will continue at this year's spending levels, but the outlay on "science," which presumably includes the space effort and missilery, is to increase by an impressive 15.4%. Furthermore, 30% more will be invested in the key chemical and machine-tool industries next year. While Khrushchev talks grandly of more consumer goods, Kosygin affirmed only a 3% rise in spending on light industry in 1960. Consumers could take comfort in Kosygin's promise...
Times subscribers knew what this meant: the annual migration to St. Petersburg had begun.

As he said in his TV talk with Prime Minister Macmillan in London, "There are millions of people today who are living without sufficient food, shelter, clothing and health facilities. They are not going to remain quiescent. There is just going to be an explosion if we don't help...
World War II brought him a special kind of recognition he never aspired to, when he went down into London's underground as a war artist to do a series of air-raid "shelter drawings." These, unique in their shrouded, sallow-hued style, conveyed with Dantean impact the spectacle of humanity huddled in refuge, yet fated to stir again, to live and to work on. Londoners, who would have blanched at the sight of his statues, recognized themselves in his swaddled figures, and hailed him as one of their...
