...most impressive U.S. thermonuclear work was done at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory with a machine called Perhapsatron S-3. Its doughnut is made of glass surrounded by copper, and is about as big as a scooter tire, with its minor diameter (through the dough) about 2 in. compared to ZETA's 39 in. The temperature of its pinch is higher than ZETA's (about 6,000,000° C.), but the pinch lasts only a few millionths of a second, about one-thousandth as long as ZETA's. Other thermonuclear machines at Los Alamos use short, straight...

The motorist can drive as far as 100 miles on the tire at speeds of up to 45 m.p.h...

...paint for the ear as well as for the eye; when suddenly the sound track fills with singing birds and a music of axles, bright September blows into the theater, tingling in the thoughts like merry harvest weather. Director Dreyer loves the human face ("A land one can never tire of exploring"), and he has chosen his faces with a sure insight. Best of all, perhaps, are the faces of the pregnant woman (Birgitte Federspiel) and her husband (Emil Haas Christensen), which make a simple, touching revelation: that they are deeply and quietly and naturally in love...
