...Teller and Dr. Bethe, both brilliant men, spend their time trying to devise foolproof bomb-testing methods which cannot be detected or in trying to devise foolproof methods of detecting bomb tests. But the problem lies elsewhere. If the U.S.S.R. or any other country does not wish to be policed, then no technical skills can be devised which will do so, and if the countries of the world do wish to accept policing, then it is now possible to prevent the manufacture of bombs and the means of delivery of such bombs, and this has been true ever since...
...work on the atomic nucleus, in recent years has been most active as an articulate adviser to the Federal Government, explaining science to the Solons as something that requires, and is worthy of, a basic "optimism of the possible." The most remarkable feat performed by Physicist Edward Teller came when, with a burst of brilliance, he flashed forth with an idea that made the hydrogen bomb not only possible but practical for the U.S.; the details of that idea remain top-secret to this...
...Edward Teller, 52, vehemently dislikes his title: "Father of the H-bomb." In the first place, he argues, the big bomb was the creation of many minds. Even more important, the phrase is unpopular with Teller's teen-age son Paul. Explains Teller: "No one would want the hydrogen bomb for a kid brother." But the rumpled, Hungarian-born physicist has small chance of escape. Many minds did indeed contribute to the U.S. H-bomb, but it was Teller's basic insight that made the finished product possible. Today, he teaches a freshman course in physics appreciation at U.C.L.A...
With personal income at an alltime high, holiday spending was heavy. In Manhattan last week, Bonwit Teller's, Ohrbach's and Macy's all rang up one-day sales records. In Detroit, Christmas sales were up some 3% over record last year. At week's end most merchants were still too busy totting up sales slips to know just how merry a Christmas...
...play is framed by the narration of a story teller to two groups of collective farmers who are trying to decide who will have possession of a valley stream, its former owners, the goatherds, or those who now need it, the planters. He tells of a revolution in which the governor of a Caucasian city is overthrown and his wife forced to abandon their child. Grusha, a simple peasant girl, rescues him, carries him to the distant home of her brother, pursued all the way by Ironshirts, and eventually marries a dying man so that the child will...
