President Eisenhower has said that war in this day and age would yield only a great emptiness. So, I think, would disarmament in this day and age. An arms race is a frightening thing, but eighty sovereign nations suddenly turning up without arms is truly terrifying. One may even presume that Russia came forward with the most sensational of the disarmament proposals -total disarmament in four years-just because it is terrifying. A dictator dearly loves a vacuum, and he loves to rattle people. Disarmament in this day would increase, not diminish, the danger of war. Today's weapons...
Charles could yield to Parliament or thunder at it, and gain his ends by either device. His lack of vindictiveness was astonishing; of the calumnies of Lord Shaftesbury, the Whig leader who had hoped to execute him, the King remarked merely that "at doomsday we shall see whose arse is blackest." The monarch died in 1685, surrounded at first by musicians and concubines, and at the end by clerics and physicians.

The flow lasts no more than one-thousandth of a second, but it is enough to yield volumes of scientific information. After only six months of work with this violent instrument. Kantrowitz was able to send the Air Force the first firm data about heat and air conditions around a nose cone at its moment of crisis...
...discount cut is bound to make it easier-and cheaper-for the Government and business to raise cash. At the prospect of lower rates, long-term Government issues last week speeded up their recent climb; yield on one issue dropped to 3.93% v. 4.27% less than two months ago. Wall Street hoped that the Fed's next move would be to lower the 90% margin requirements on stock purchases. Brokers feel that the market, like the economy, has behaved well-and now could also use a little easier credit...
