That may sound like an extravagant appraisal of President Reagan's proposal to develop a defense against nuclear missiles. But it comes from the only man who had a hand in both those decisions, 44 years apart. As a young refugee from Hungary, Edward Teller was part of the group of physicists who persuaded Albert Einstein to draft his famous 1939 letter advising F.D.R. that a nuclear bomb could be designed. Teller went on to help develop it and, in the 1950s, win universal recognition as the "father of the hydrogen bomb." Now, gray and limping...
Look inside the Mass. Ave. lobby of Bay Bank/Harvard Trust. Nine automatic teller machines (ATMs) are spewing cash to lines of lunch-hour customers. A separate crowd waits to be served by an army of a dozen tellers. A closed-circuit television repeats the bank's current commercials. Potted palms, ads for trips to Hawaii, and green and blue hues strike you from every direction. It is, unmistakably, supermarket banking...
Last night my husband, a professor in the city, was driving out to use the automatic teller at his bank, the Cambridge Trust Company. Harvard Square branch, when he noticed a slow leak in his tire had rendered it nearly flat. Pulling into a Central Square service station, he was informed that use of the air pump cost 50 cents. Upon checking his pockets, he discovered that he had no money, not indeed any change, though he did have a money order for $20 which he was on his way to deposit. The attendant would not allow him to till...
...worse, the pressure on the A.E.C. to prove the potential of nuclear power led it to ignore many important safety concerns. As early as 1953, physicist Edward Teller, the leading nuclear weapons expert at the time, told a congressional committee that "We have been extremely fortunate in that accidents in nuclear reactors have not caused any fatalities. With expanding applications of nuclear reactions and nuclear power, it cannot be expected that this unbroken record will be maintained." Yet Teller's warnings that "a release of [radioactive materials from a reactor] in a city or densely populated area would lead...
