...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." And if they don't want Thieu and Ky any longer, they have the opportunity to say so in the elections...

Their houses are made of tarpaper or unseasoned wood, their food consists of what they can shoot, trap or buy with Government food stamps...
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...
