...conference discussed nearly every aspect of water supply-from underground storage to chaparral removal*-but no one voiced a hope that freshened sea water would soon solve the persistent problem of irrigation. The sad truth is that there is no such solution in sight. Sea water contains about 3% of salt, and there is a strong attraction between the salt and the water. A great deal of energy is necessary to break the bond. Dr. W. S. Gillam, research chief of the U.S. Office of Saline Water, recently estimated that the lowest possible cost of doing the job will never...
...Perfect. Catharism was not an isolated phenomenon. It was part of an ancient heresy that flowed like an underground stream beneath the surface of Christianity and burst forth in many forms during the church's first 1,000-odd years. Gnosticism, Manichaeanism, Paulicianism, Bogomilism and the Albigenses all had basic characteristics in common: 1) rejection of the world of matter as a trap imprisoning the divine "spark," 2) the concept of the Saviour as a heavenly being merely masquerading as human to bring salvation to 3) the elect, who often have to conceal themselves from the world...
More Like Metternich. From there the talk turned to nuclear tests and inspection and Lippmann caught an odd twist in the Red line: the U.S.S.R., Khrushchev insisted, has never conducted underground nuclear tests and never will.

Khrushchev doubted-as he has doubted all along-that Russia can come to terms with the U.S. on nuclear inspection, citing, among other reasons, his objection to a "neutral" (i.e., nonCommunist) administrator I here are no neutral men," said Khrushchev...
...first widespread showings of a new industrial training system that animates still pictures by a new use of polarized light. Industry and government are already using the system for everything from showing how the new Bulova electronic watch operates to training workers to launch a Titan missile from an underground base. F. P. Copper, of General Electric's light military electronics division, says of the animating process: "It's terrific...
A.M.F. bought a Technamated training program to teach employees the workings of the underground silos that the company is building for the Titan. Explains Technical Animation's President Stanley L. Schwartz, 41: "They had to show why a valve is the right valve before the guy actually got to operate it." On three separate screens, trainees see a cross section of the whole silo, a breakdown of each of its operating segments, and what they do in action...
