Sir: The Los Angeles Times of June 2, states: ‘In Korea it is estimated that some 2 million civilians, the greater part of them children, have been killed or have died of exposure since the start of the war. More than ten million are homeless and destitute.’ Dong Sung Kim, special envoy of the Republic of Korea reported June 1st here: ‘In just one night, there were 156 villages burned. The villages were in the path of an enemy advance. So, of course, the UN planes had to destroy them. And all the old people and children who were still there because they were unable to heed the evacuation orders were killed.’ New Statesman

The technique of quick-freezing germ-cells and keeping them indefinitely can mean a complete change in the significance of time. At present it applies to the male sperm, but it might also be adapted to the female ovum.
