Nuclear science is on the verge of developing a "third-generation weapon as radically different from the H-bomb as the H-bomb was from the Hiroshima-type A-bomb," warned Thomas E. Murray, former member of the Atomic Energy Commission and consultant to the Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy, last week. The Administration's moratorium on nuclear testing, drawn out to two years by the foot-dragging test-ban talks with the Russians at Geneva, has stopped U.S. progress cold-but "I take it for granted that the Soviet Union is actively developing nuclear technology along this...
Derision is poured on De Gaulle's military policy. He is caricatured as a medieval crossbowman in the company of rifle-toting U.S., Britain and Russia. France's A-bomb is the "atomic weapon with the bicycle chain reaction." When De Gaulle applies for admission in the Atomic Club, he is asked to produce his bomb. "I haven't got one," he replies. "It went off." In its bitterness, the magazine is losing some of its sense of humor. De Gaulle is no longer Le Grand Chariot but Le Grand Charletan...

...NOBLE PROFESSION, by Pierre Boulle (255 pp.; Vanguard; $3.95), proves once again that French Novelist Boulle owes his fictional allegiance to a one-track mmcl-his own. His only weapon is irony; his heroes seem forever doomed to self-deceit, to rationalizing their weaknesses until they seem like virtues. In The Bridge over the River Kivai, a Colonel Blimp hurt his own, his men's and his nation's cause by raising boneheadedness to the level of character. In Face of a Hero, a lawyer transformed personal cowardice into a basis for public esteem. In the present book...
...emergency bellylanding near Amman after reconnoitering along Jordan's frontier. But the Syrian lad who climbed out of the cockpit seemed too young to be shot, too honest and helpful even to punish severely. Instead, the Jordanians decided that Lieut. Adnan Madani, 24, would make a useful propaganda weapon to embarrass Gamal Abdel Nasser. By trotting Madani out as a "defector," Jordan could "prove" that Syrians were unhappy in Nasser's U.A.R...
