Willard Frank Libby, 52, sometimes seems to be a finicky, formal sort of man who wears a business suit in the laboratory, suffers a necktie in the warmest weather. But he gives himself away with his missionary zeal. To Chemist Libby, recruiting bright young newcomers to his calling is every bit as important as his own contributions. His radioactive carbon-14 dating technique brought him his well-deserved Nobel Prize; his five-year service on the Atomic Energy Commission was an invaluable bridge between the possibilities of science and the problems of politics. In Washington, Libby discovered that there...
...President's ready grin and two-armed wave with the kind of heartfelt affection that neither Jack Kennedy nor Dick Nixon (nor any other living U.S. politician) arouses. In San Francisco, a cheering, confetti-hurling noonday crowd of nearly 250,000 gave him the city's warmest welcome since General Douglas MacArthur came home from Japan in 1951.

As a mortified Betancourt listened by short-wave radio, Arcaya fought to water down the resolution rapping Cuba, warmly embraced Cuban Foreign Minister Raul Roa (who happens to be Arcaya's fifth cousin). A phone call from Caracas summoned Arcaya off the floor.

...ocean-bottom sediments, Rosholt and Emiliani estimate that the last warm interglacial Pleistocene period extended from 100,000 B.C. to 67,000 B.C., with its temperature peak coming about 93,000 B.C. Since the oldest skull fragments of Homo sapiens (true man) are believed to date from the warmest part of the last interglacial period, this date, 93,000 B.C., can be considered the provisional birth date of the human race...
