President Dwight Eisenhower ordered the State Department to transmit information on the Salk vaccine and its effectiveness to 75 nations through U.S. Ambassadors, and the World Health Organization planned to duplicate this effort. Actually, relatively few countries have facilities to make the vaccine; only a few areas in the world have a serious polio problem, for clinical polio is a disease that goes with high standards of hygiene and sanitation. Highest recent incidence abroad: Canada, New Zealand, Scandinavia. The six firms making the vaccine are selling it at cost to the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, but will otherwise sell...
...Security Council it is not a member of the UN and could not cast a vote or lead the darling and negotiation of a UN action. Because it does not have diplomatic relations with the USSR despite continued efforts. Korea had to rely upon Washington to transmit its demands to the Soviets and upon Japan to make arrangements for the return of debris and remains recovered by the Russians.

Many believe the network should not channel all funds toward paying off the debt, but rather direct the funds to ensure that the quality of the programs survive. "The programs...
...Japanese completely abandoning their old copycat tactics. One noteworthy case occurred with fiber optics, a rapidly expanding field in which glass fibers are used to transmit information in the form of laser light pulses. The Japanese breakthroughs came only after Corning Glass, a leader in fiber optics, made the mistake of applying for a Japanese patent. Since the patent process is open to public inspection, Japanese firms studied the U.S. company's approach as well as the subsequent work of Bell Labs, and then made their own innovative improvements. Japanese fiber optics are today as good...
...call these theories GUTs (for Grand Unified Theories). Central to this framework is the existence of new particles, tiny fragments of matter (or energy, since the two are interchangeable) less than a trillionth the size of a bacterium, itself only about a ten-thousandth of an inch long, that transmit these forces...
