...Poland, Hungary and Communist China. Today the Soviet rulers threaten West Berlin. Why? It is simple. It is because they have been put on the defensive by the inspiring demonstration there of what free men can do. Internally, Red China is feverishly imposing a communization program designed quickly to transform the Chinese nation into a great military and industrial power. The program involves human slavery, and cruelty on a scale unprecedented in all world history...
...they produce, commune members get wages fixed by a ruling committee of party activists. At Sputnik Commune, 260 mess halls have been set up where members are fed free rice. These communal kitchens, plus communal nurseries and "mending brigades," relieve the wives of members from "dull and trivial housework," transform women, too, into all-purpose laborers. (The sole concession made to femininity: pregnant women get a month off work with half pay.) Even the old folks, for whom the commune has established "Happy Homes," are kept busy with scheduled chores, such as feeding the chickens. And in at least...
...envy of all those in our society who are paid to obscure or distort it. He is the only one who is paid to be as honest, as simple, and as serious as he can . . . The work is indeed hard, as it must be since its purpose is to transform a child into a man; but there is no work that makes so happy those who do it well . . . The best teacher is willing to be forgotten. His only reassurance needs to be the faith that somehow his efforts have increased the amount of mind in a world which...
...earth, Dr. Calvin points out, has reached a critical stage. The highest product of its evolutionary chain-man-is on the point of learning how to navigate space and spread beyond the earth. "There is no reason to suppose that life, and man as its representative, will not transform any planet on which he lands, in the same way, or even in a more profound way than he has transformed the surface of the earth. It might suit him to change the orbit of the moon, and it seems within the realm of possibility that he should be able...
Once the electrons have been accelerated or "ponderated," the aim is to direct a beam into the experimental area where measurements can be made of the unusual properties and inter-actions. One method already devised is to place a target in the part of the electron beam; this will transform the electrons into X-rays of very high energy. Because they are uncharged, these rays will not be deflected by the magnetic field of the accelerator and will continue on a straight tangential line into the experimental area. Physicists would also like to be able to deflect a beam...
