Tomorrow evening about 20 million Americans will be shown, on their television screens, how easy it is to steal plutonium and produce "the most terrifying blackmail weapon ever devised"-a home-made atomic bomb.
They will be told that no commercial nuclear plant in the United States - and probably in the World-is adequately protected against a well planned armed attack by terrorists, and that there is enough information on public record to guide a nuclear thief not only to the vaults of nuclear plants where plutonium is stored, but also to tell him how the doors of those vaults are designed.
The hour-long television programme, "The Plutonium Connection", makes its point by showing how a 20-year-old student of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in five weeks designed an atomic bomb composed of plutonium and parts from a hardware store.
The young man, whose identity is being kept secret for fear he may be kidnapped by terrorists; is quoted as saying: "'I was pretty surprised about how easy it is to design a bomb. When I was working on my design, I kept thinking there's got to be more to it than this, but actually there isn't. It' s simple."
The student worked alone, using information he obtained from science libraries open to the public. The television programmes, produced for non-commercial stations across the country by a Boston educational station, shows how quantities of other "secret" information are available to anyone.
The Atomic Energy Commission's public reading room in Washington is described by the narrator as "the first place a bomb-designer would visit when he was planning his plutonium theft. On file there and freely available are the plans of every civilian nuclear installation in the country."
The programme seems certain to create enormous controversy - not only. over the lack of nuclear safeguards, but also over the morality of commissioning the student to design a bomb and the wisdom of drawing attention to the ways that a nuclear thief can work.
Even an Official of Public Broadcasting System, which is distributing the TV programmes, confessed to qualms: "It's a terribly important subject, and people should know about the dangers, but I can't help wondering if the programme won't give someone ideas." "The Plutonium Connection" explains, for example, that the security system of nuclear plants were all designed to prevent sabotage by perhaps one or two agents of some foreign Power. But now this appears less of a hazard than the possibilities of an attack by an armed band of terrorists with dedicated disregard for their own lives.
The programme discusses two major plutonium reprocessing plants in the US one already operating in Oklahoma, one being completed in South Carolina - neither of which has more than a handful of armed guards to supplement the alarms, fences and gun-detectors that Government security requires. Both are in such remote areas that it would take at least 45 minutes for a sizable police force to be assembles, if there were an attack.
An official of the South Carolina plant - a joint operation of Allied Chemical, Gulf Oil and Royal Dutch Shell - admits to television viewers that the "system we've designed would probably not prevent" a band of about 12 armed terrorists from entering. Pilfering plutonium is even easier, the programme suggests. Despite constant inventories, there are inevitably particles of plutonium unaccounted for about 1 1b. a month at the Oklahoma plant, owned by the Kerr-McGee oil company, which in a year adds up to enough to make an atomic bomb. It is suggested that pilfering would be even easier if instrument technicians were unscrupulous enough to alter their measuring devices.
The television film also shows radioactive fuel being transported to nuclear processing plants in com

It is astonishing how little is known about the working of the mind. But however little or much is known, it is fairly clear that the model of the logic-machine is not only wrong but mischievous. There are people who profess to believe that man can live by logic alone. If only they say, men developed their reason, looked at all situations and dilemmas logically, and proceeded to devise rational solutions, all human problems would be solved. Be reasonable. Think logically. Act rationally. This line of thought is very persuasive, not to say seductive, 1. It is astonishing, however, how frequently the people most fanatically devoted to logic and reason, to a cold review of the "facts" and a calculated construction of the truth, turn out not only to be terribly emotional in argumentation, but obstinate any "truth" is "proved"——deeply committed to emotional positions that prove reek-resistible to the most massive accumulation of unsympathetic facts and proofs.
2. If man's mind cannot be turned into a logic-machine, neither can it function properly as a great emotional sponge, to be squeezed at will. All of us have known people who gush as a general response to life——who gush in seeing a sunset, who gush in reading a book, who gush in meeting a friend. They may seem to live by emotion alone, but their constant gushing is a disguise for absence of genuine feeling, a torrent rushing to fill a vacuum. It is not uncommon to find beneath the gush a cold, analytic mind that is astonishing in its meticulousness and ruthless in its calculation.
Somewhere between machine and sponge lies the reality of the mind——a blend of reason and emotion, of actuality and imagination, of fact and feeling. 3. The entanglement is so complete, the mixture so thoroughly mixed, that it is probably impossible to achieve pure reason or pure reason or pure emotion, at least for any sustained period of time.
4. It is probably best to assume that all our reasoning is fused with our emotional commitments and beliefs, all our thoughts colored by feelings that lie deep within our psyches. Moreover, it is probably best to assume that this stream of emotion is not a poison, not even a taint, but is a positive life-source, a stream of psychic energy that animates and vitalizes our entire thought process. 5. The roots of reason are embedded in feelings——feelings that have formed and accumulated and developed over a lifetime of personality-shaping. These feelings are not for occasional using but are inescapable. To know what we think, we must know how we feel. It is feeling that shapes belief and forms opinion. It is feeling that directs the strategy of argument. It is our feelings, then, with which we must come to honorable terms.

International business consists of transactions that are devised and carried out across national borders to satisfy the objectives of individuals, companies, and organizations. These transactions take on varied forms, which are often interrelated. Primary types of international business are export-import trade and direct foreign investment. The latter is carried out in varied forms, including wholly owned subsidiaries and joint ventures. Additional types of international business are licensing, franchising, and management contract.
As the definition indicates, and as for any kind of domestic business, 'satisfaction' remains a key tenet of international business. The fact that the transactions are across international borders highlights the difference between domestic and international business. The international executive is subject to a new set of macro-environmental factors, to
different constraints, and to quite frequent conflicts resulting from different laws, cultures, and societies. The basic principles of business still apply, but their application, complexity, and intensity vary substantially.
21. International business consists of domestic and international transactions.
22. Export-import trade is the basic form. of international business.
23. As the definition indicates, 'satisfaction' remains a key tenet of international business.
'A key tenet' here means an important principle.
24. There is no difference between national and international business.
25. International business is influenced by different laws, cultures, and societies.
