...continent where complex constitutional problems breed and sting like mosquitoes, no place has a more complex problem than Nyasaland. A British protectorate, Nyasaland is a stringbean sliver of hills whose 2,720,000 African inhabitants are desperately determined to dissolve their homeland's 1953 forced merger with the two Rhodesias into the white-dominated Central African Federation. Fortnight ago, when delegates from Nyasaland and Britain sat down in London's ornate Lancaster House to debate a new deal for the little land, experts predicted failure. Peppery little Dr. Hastings Banda, idol of Nyasaland blacks, had threatened to walk...
Second, our government activity must be reorganized-reorganized to take the initiative from the Communists and to develop and carry out a worldwide strategy, an offensive for peace and freedom. The complex of agencies which has grown up through the years for exchange of persons, for technical assistance, for information, for loans and for grants, all these must be welded together into one powerful economic and ideological striking force under the direct supervision and leadership of the President...
...Billion Protons. The Brookhaven AGS delivered its powerful beam with remarkable ease. The scientists adjusted its complex machinery for only nine days before the injected particles reached 30 Bev. Another triumph for Brookhaven is that each pulse of the beam contains 10 billion protons. Some accelerators have pushed their particles to scheduled speed but delivered only a comparative few. The Soviet 10-Bev accelerator at Dubna is apparently plagued with this trouble. U.S. physicists, who would be quick to praise their Russian colleagues if praise were due, estimate that its pulses contain 10 million protons, one-thousandth of the number...
...lacks the "infinite variety" that Enobarbus attributes to her. Whereas Antony is a fixed entity, Cleopatra is never fixed. Pick almost any adjective you like, and you can find support for its applicability somewhere in the script. She is utterly chameleonic in behavior, and nearly as complex as Hamlet. But Miss Hepburn's range is far too limited; and she indulges in the sort of pseudo-emotional descending vocal wavering that delighted the fans of Julia Marlowe many decades ago but is now wholly out-of-date. She does, however, deliver some of her vituperative and ironic lines effectively...
...unlikely that Kennedy and his associates believe in either of these implications, any more than they believe in any "simple solutions to the infinitely complex challenges which face us." Yet for the most part, the solutions they outline in the platform are simple indeed, curses for only peripheral evils...
