Utopia in Reverse. Chou and his comrades are serving the interests of the Chinese people in their own fashion. They are trying with every tool in their revolutionary kit to destroy China's traditional society, replace it with a new structure that is horrifyingly like the utopia-in-reverse of George Orwell's 1984. Chief among traditions under all-out Red attack is China's revered institution, the family. China's Reds by their own admission have bent all their efforts to turn father against son, mother against daughter. Wives are being handsomely rewarded for informing...
This turned out to be a break for physicists in general because the new cyclotron filled a gap in their tool-chest. Cyclotrons are used to bombard target material with particles traveling at different rates of speed. To get a whole range of speeds, physicists need several cyclotrons of different power. Before the new Harvard cyclotron appeared, there was only one very powerful mode--the 400,000,000 volt job owned by the University of California--and quite a few smaller ones of not much more than 30,000 volts. The Harvard cyclotron helped to provide the much wanted middle...
Rentschler persuaded Niles-Bement-Pond Co. (precision tools), which had plenty of war-earned surplus cash and unused war-built factory space, to bet its cash on Rentschler's know-how. The company staked him to $250,000 and a factory to develop his first engine. Because Rentschler got his factory space and tools at Hartford, in the plant of Niles-Bement-Pond's tool-building Pratt & Whitney division, the new company was called Pratt & Whitney Aircraft...
...last analysis, what he wants is a ministry of conviction and spiritual comfort." Renfer felt that, at fundamentalist Dallas, most of his young theologians hardly needed to be told that. But he thought there ought to be a special course "to teach them a new way to use a tool they already have or should have." He started what is considered the first specific course in chaplaincy training to be offered in a seminary...
...Carpet. Nothing was more thoroughly snarled than the vital machine-tool industry. Automakers, with $5 billion in rearmament contracts, could not get the machine tools to build the arms. Reason: NPA had failed to provide priorities on materials for machine tools. And though machine tools have little bearing on consumer costs, OPS had thrown the industry out of joint by foolishly slapping on price controls. The controls themselves, ignoring the industry's long gap between orders and delivery, in some cases set ceilings on the basis of orders taken as long as three years...
