S. Atomic Proving Ground? I remember how Francisco In 1945: The flags flying and the diplomats smiling and shaking hands like brothers while they hammered verbs nntl nouns commas together in the United Nations charter. It was spring, a wonderful lime, everybody happy, and nil the pro.

phets saying the U.N. would keep then I saw the powers slip into the charter the little sign marked they it the veto. I went off in a corner and sat down, sick with fear, because the little man got busy willi his tap- Ding in my skull, telling me: "Any time one of the big ones wants to get ornery, he can chuck In the veto, and when Hint hnpper you can kiss the peace niul Ihe UN goodbye, my boy."
