 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Herbert of Bosham
Herbert remained closely attached to St. Thomas during the arduous and troubled years of his episcopacy and exile down to the very eve of the final scene in Canterbury Cathedral.
After the martyrdom Herbert seems to have lived mainly on the Continent, and he complains that he was neglected by the friends and adherents of the master whom he had served so faithfully; he records, however, a friendly interview with the king himself.
Herbert of Bosham's work has not, therefore, the historical value of that of Fitzstephen, and it is also extremely verbose.

ARPA, perhaps influenced by York, suspended studies of the second stage on 31 July, directing ABMA to conduct a new series of cost and time estimates based on a 4-meter Titan.
York wrote, "While ARPA did have other legitimate roles in Defense RandD, I concluded it was really just one more unnecessary layer in the management of large rocket and space programs, and so I recommended its role in Space be cancelled."

The plan York developed called for four activities: the design of thermonuclear devices, diagnostic measurements on weapons experiments for Los Alamos and for devices developed at Livermore, work on controlled thermonuclear reactions for potential power sources, and basic physics research.
York’s conceptual ideas led to rapid growth reaching a total of 658 employees by July 1953—an increase way beyond their expectations.

 {TITLE}
Herbert F. York is Professor of Physics and Director of the Program on Science, Technology and Public Affairs at the University of California, San Diego.
A continuing concern of Professor York has been that even if the arms race is slowed down or brought to a halt, civilization will continue to be haunted by a nuclear balance of terror, because of the enormous batteries of destruction already in existence, fully primed, and increasingly vulnerable to error and misuse.
But at any rate we have got to move in a direction where the relations between states are governed by law and there’s some kind of law enforcement mechanism that truly has a global reach.
