Opposition to the Socialists had been growing steadily for ten years. Their parliamentary majority had declined. As 1949's campaign got under way, Labor candidates faced dissatisfied audiences that insistently harried them with heckling questions. How much more was Socialism going to cost? Why were government ministers riding in U.S. limousines while ordinary folks couldn't get cars? An Auckland newspaperman called it "the revolt of the guinea pigs...
...second half, the Texans clearly outplayed the mighty Irish and boyish, narrow-eyed Kyle Rote ran his day's performance to spectacular totals: he gained 115 yards through the line and around the ends, pitched ten passes for 146 yards, scored three touchdowns. After his third score it took all of Notre Dame's All-America power to grind out one more Irish touchdown and go ahead, 27-20. Even then, in the last minutes of the game, Coach Matty Bell's men began to roll downfield again in a 67-yd. drive that was halted only...

...full, round figure alerted Washington's amateur physicists. According to fairly dependable estimates, the Hiroshima bomb developed not more than 10% of the fission energy present in its nuclear explosive. Perfect efficiency (probably impossible) would therefore give about ten times as much power, certainly not 1,000 times as much. So, figured the amateur physicists, the talkative Senator must have meant a bomb made out of hydrogen. It is well known that the conversion of hydrogen into helium is the nuclear reaction that gives the sun its energy...
