7 Thi5,AQQmiQ Age , A Foreword HS WE WRITE this introduction to the 1946 Phoenician, scientists in Califomia and Russia are perfecting a wonderful new ma- chine that dwarfs such atom busters as the old-fashioned cyclotron . . . We are on the threshold of marvelous events. True, our world is upset and distressed at the moment, for we are in the midst of a mighty revolution-economic, physical, spiritual. The scientist, with his increased knowledge of the universe and its physical laws, is far ahead of the crowd. He has at his command forces so stupendous that they frighten him, yet he must go ahead, probing Nature's deepest secrets, searching answers to age-old questions . . . All of this is fascinating to us Arizonans. Thousands of newcom- ers hail our land as the country with a future. New industries are springing up, great things are promised to make our deserts bloom, our cities prosper. As a symbol of the past and of our future stands the Arizona cactus. Surrounded by enemies, it holds firm against heat and thirst and pestilence. It has beauty, but a thorn-covered beauty that stabs at the incautious. Within its seemingly useless hulk may lie enough energy to fly air- ships, pump rivers of water, drive monster engines. It presents, as does tomorrow, a challenge typical of The Way Ahead.
