ase relays, fixedand mobile, to keep not only White House staff mem-bers but all key government officials available to thePresident and each other around the clock. And just over the horizon, highly miniaturized tele-vision sets as portable as todays transistor radios,face-to-face conferences between heads of statethousands of miles apart as they talk over voice-picture circuits. Add to these developments the upcoming super-sonic transport aircraft which will be able to take aPresident and his entire travel party across the Atlan-tic for lunch and back to Washington by nightfall, tothe Far East for an evening meeting and back to theWhite House the next day. There will be new human requirements, too. Ofnecessity, future Presidents must have more knowl-edge of geography, as well as geopolitics.

Much of this progress can be attributed to the factthat a large number of chemists now live the inter-disciplinary life, practicing their art with knowledgegained from colleagues in adjoining scientific field
