...must not fall into their trap to, in effect, overthrow ourselves. I do not see any circumstance in which we must change the government, except when the people of South Viet Nam say, "We don't want Thieu and Vice President Ky any longer."

...this is a practical way. We would like to have frank negotiations to settle the war, which will bring a solution to the conflict as a whole.

Unwilling to wait, McCusker's team set up a more simple quark trap in a shed behind the University of Sydney's school of physics. Whenever Geiger counters detected a cosmic shower, they triggered four Wilson cloud chambers, which show the path of any ionized or charged particle that passes through them as a trail of condensed water drop lets. If a quark freed by a collision between a cosmic ray and an atmospheric atom happened to penetrate the cham ber, the physicists reasoned, it would leave a highly characteristic track...
