...averted "an attempted mass poisoning"; a double agent in RFE's employ had tipped off authorities that he had been assigned by a Communist diplomat to replace the normal cafeteria salt shakers with others that he was told contained "a mild laxative." When contents of two suspect shakers were analyzed, their salt was found mixed with 2.36% by weight of atropine, a deadly white, crystalline alkaloid poison made of the nightshade plant. For adults, as little as 10 mg. of atropine can cause coma, and a salt-hungry canteen customer might presumably have shaken enough on his food...
...made any demand"; and 4) border peace and mutual confidence "are unattainable by other provisional measures." After asserting these squatter rights, Chou blandly declared that China is so big a country, and so sparsely settled in half of its area, that it would be "extremely ludicrous" to suspect that Peking would "encroach one inch upon foreign territory...

The stars and hydrogen, they say, are presumably held together by gravitation and revolve more or less as a unit. The outstreaming hydrogen beyond the ring is hard to explain. They calculate that at the present rate of flow, all the hydrogen should have been drained from the nucleus in a mere 10 million to 100 million years, which is only a tiny part of the life span...
