...Last Holiday" has a great deal to say, but not once does it speak with the offensiveness of a "message." Byrd is a nice guy, and, to quote Leo Durocher, "nice guys always finish last." A lot of charlatans surround this nice guy, a lot of charlatans...
...afternoon, another place. The way lies through an area into which the U.S. Marines have just moved. It's good to see them, beautifully equipped and so obviously well trained. Once again I see refugees on this road. But there's a difference. Our own men, marines, surround them. As the jeep comes toward them I witness something of an advance in American communication with the people of the country.

...think much of this simple "dd reaction." Probably not enough deuterium atoms would collide squarely. The reaction would probably die out before much of the material had a chance to react, and thus the bomb would not be very destructive. It might be much better, says the author, to surround the uranium detonator with lithium hydride. When hydrogen and lithium atoms in this common chemical compound are given sufficient energy, they react with one another, forming two atoms of helium 4. It takes only 100,000 electron volts, says the article, to start the reaction. Each atomic collision yields...
...nine new Georgian-style buildings would be modern enough, with ample room to house a giant refectory and 750 students, including Brown's 17 fraternities. But a 10-ft. dry moat would surround them all, and a bristling 6-ft. iron stockade would surround that. There would be three entrances to the quad, each with a guardhouse manned by campus police. Underground, a network of passageways would allow students to go to dinner without getting drenched in wet weather...
