...actual speed and range were not released, partly because they are legitimate military secrets, partly because the airplane has flown so far only in wind tunnels, and its true performance can only be estimated.

By cruising at moderate speed with wings extended, it will have "transoceanic range without refueling"; if permitted to refuel, it can fly to any part of the earth...

Hopefully new teaching methods, curriculum materials, and training programs will be developed and will be made part of actual classroom practice as quickly as possible...
...however broad the consensus on this basic ideal, the actual program at Harvard has come under increasing fire since its adoption. And it was to meet these attacks and refurbish and redefine the program that the Doy Committee was appointed in 1962, thirteen years after the passage of the first program for General Education at Harvard...
