...then, to read that I said, "We can at least be safe at home, without allies." I appreciate that "with our allies" in a Hungarian accent may sound like "without allies," or that a typographical error could accomplish this reversal. Your kind correction will keep the record straight. Edward Teller Stanford, Calif...
...going bananas all through town," says Denver Police Sergeant Don De Novellis, who directs the department's major coke cases. "It's everywhere. It's like cigarette machines in a bar." That seems a bit hyperbolic.

"I'll bet you," says Haight-Ash-bury's Dr. Smith, "that 90% of them are taking out their next day's money to buy some coke...

Teller has been arguing for an antiballistic-missile system since the mid-1960s. He fell silent after the signing of the treaty banning such systems in 1972, a grievous mistake, in his opinion, but has taken up the cudgels again in a spate of articles during the past two years. His opinions, as summarized for TIME Correspondent Dick Thompson last week, dismiss contrary opinion as vigorously as ever...
