...only an exploding A-bomb has provided enough heat to trigger off fusion. But it is theoretically possible. Bhabha suggested, that other far less violent triggers can be fashioned to produce fusion without explosions. For example, high-voltage linear accelerators have been designed to propel particles at high speeds through electrical fields to give them high energy but little heat effect; a low-voltage, high-current accelerator shooting more particles at lower speeds might supply the few millions of degrees required for fusion. Even ordinary TNT "shaped charge" explosions might do the triggering. Already, said Bhabha. Indian theoretical scientists were...
After 24 hours' silence, Sofia Radio charged that the plane had edged onto Bulgarian territory and said that it was shot down by trigger-happy Bulgarian antiaircraft gunners. The Communist government of Bulgaria expressed its "deep regret." When a three-man Israeli investigation commission arrived at the crash site, the Bulgars had removed most of the wreckage...
SHIPBUILDING PROGRAM to build 85 new ships, modernize another 189, will trigger a $756 million outlay by the U.S. Government and private industry, says Maritime Administrator Clarence G. Morse.

...average VistaVision musical mostly because of the near-maniacal energy of Bob Hope, whose timing was never better as he splutters gags like an endless string of comic firecrackers. Italy's Milly Vitale is decorative as the long-suffering wife, and the children are always on hand to trigger a succession of mildly-daring jokes about childbirth...
...explanation is that jabbing a hypodermic into the muscle means cutting or tearing a number of nerves which then offer the virus particles a direct pathway to the brain or spine. This seems plausible because inoculations against other diseases, e.g., diphtheria, may trigger a polio infection even when no polio virus is introduced and the only common factor is the use of the needle...
