...treaty is signed, it will take two years or more to set up a functioning detection system. As the U.S. learned after the armistice in Korea, reaching a truce with Communists can be merely the beginning of harassments and frustrations. And even if the detection system is effective, the problem of constant patrol and vigilance is just beginning. Perhaps a greater danger than the risk of undetected underground testing is the risk that the U.S. would be lulled into relaxation by the mere existence of an agreement...
...U.S.S.R.) or the great expense of excavating a huge underground chamber (which would involve some risk because it would be difficult to hide the excavation work). More important, the Administration believes that the U.S.S.R. genuinely wants a test ban, partly because Soviet leaders are worried about a problem that also worries U.S. leaders: additional nations, notably Red China, may acquire nuclear weapons. In the Administration's view, Moscow's genuine interest in a test ban greatly reduces the risk that the U.S.S.R. might try to evade...
...Choice. The problem was to get the virus in its original state from tissues where the modification did not take place. Dr. Schwartz's choice: the human brain.

With Douay-eyed insistence, Dakin reports: "Tennessee is really looking for God ... He is searching for pardon...
...less than 10% of the market, Reynolds decided to bring out Camels in 1913 in a package decorated with a very sick-looking animal. Recalls former Director R. C. Haberkern: "He was atrocious. He had pointed ears, his head was bad, his feet looked like sweet potatoes." The problem was not solved until the Barnum & Bailey circus came to Winston-Salem, and the Camel people got a look at their first dromedary, Old Joe. Old Joe was promptly photographed, drawn for the package. (When Reynolds tried to change the package slightly in 1958, it got so many complaints that...
