Lambert, “The Monze Meteorite,” 55–61, emphasis original. In the context of 1950, reference to "the World Situation" here likely refers to early Cold War tensions, including the recently begun Korean War, escalating nuclear concerns between the Soviet Union and United States, and especially pertinent for the community of settlers in Rhodesia, colonial systems throughout Africa and Asia facing increasing pressure and beginning to fracture with independence movements gaining momentum.
