Princeton, N.J., October 5, 1978. A conference of leading scientists, which gathered here today to
exchange views on the nature of the stasis unit, is reported in violent disagreement. One cause of the
disagreement is the reported "selective action" of the stasis unit which permits ordinary light to pass
through transparent bodies, but blocks the passage of certain other electromagnetic radiations.
Wild disorders broke out this afternoon during a lecture by Dr. J. Paul Hughes, on the "Quasi-Electron
Theory of Wave Propagation." The lecture was accompanied by demonstration of the original Everett

Hughes device, powered by an old-fashioned generator driven by the inventor's original steam engine.
As the engine gathered speed, Dr. Hughes was able to demonstrate the presence of a nine-inch sphere of
completely reflective material in the supposedly empty focus of the apparatus. This sphere, Dr. Hughes
asserted, was the surface of a space totally evacuated of quasi-electrons, which he identified as "units of
time."
It was at this point that the disturbance broke out.
Despite the disorder, Dr. Hughes went on to explain the limiting value of the velocity of light in terms of
the quasi-electron theory, but was interrupted when the vibration of the steam engine began to shake
down the ceiling.
There is a rumor here that the conference may recess at once without issuing a report.

Washington, D.C., August 16, 1979. Usually reliable sources report that the United States has developed
a "missile screen" capable of destroying enemy missiles in flight and theoretically capable of creating a
wall around the nation through which no enemy projectile of any type could pass. This device is said to
be based on the original Everett Hughes stasis unit, which creates a perfectly rigid barrier of variable
size and shape, which can be projected very rapidly by turning on an electric current.
Other military uses for stasis devices include protection of missile sites, storage of food and munitions,
impenetrizing of armor plate, portable "turtle-shields" for infantry, and quick-conversion units designed
to turn any ordinary house or shed into a bombardment-proof strongpoint.
Veteran observers of the military scene say that the stasis unit completely reverses the advantage until
recently held by offensive, as opposed to defensive weapons. This traditionally alternating advantage,
supposed to have passed permanently with the development of nuclear explosives, has now made one
more pendulum swing. Now, in place of the "absolute weapon," we have the "absolute defense."
Properly set up, hydrogen explosions do not dent it.
But if the nation is not to disintegrate within as it becomes impregnable without, officials say we must
find some effective way to deal with stasis-protected cults, gangsters, anti-tax enthusiasts, seceding rural
districts, space-grabbers, and proprietors of dens. Latest problem is the traveling roadblock, set up by
chiselers who select a busy highway, collect "toll" from motorists who must pay or end up in a traffic
jam, then move on quickly before police have time to react, and stop again in some new location to do
the same thing all over. There must be an answer to all these things, but the answer has yet to be found.

Boston, September 2, 1979. Dr. B. Milton Schummer, Professor of Sociology at Wellsford College,
spoke out against "galloping individualism" to an audience of six hundred in Swarton Hall last night.
Professor Schummer charged that America, once the land of cooperative endeavor, is now "a seething
hotbed of rampant individualists, protesters, quick-rich artists, and minute-men of all kinds, each over-
reacting violently from a former condition which may have seemed like excessive conformisin at the
time, but now in the perspective of events appears as a desirable cohesiveness amid unity of direction.
The result today is the fractionating American with synthetic rough edges and built-in bellicose
sectionalism."
What this country needs, said Dr. Schummer, is "coordination of aims, unity of purpose, and restraint of
difference." But, he concluded, "the reaction is too violent. The trend, like the tide, cannot be reversed
by human efforts. In three years, this nation has gone from cohesion to fractionation, from [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
