...share, than of solid constitutional thinking," he said in dissent. He argued that the "public function" of privately established schools and privately established parks is clearly similar. If the majority thought that its decision left "unaffected the traditional view that the 14th Amendment does not compel private schools to adapt their admission policies to its requirements," said Harlan, he did not agree. He found it difficult "to avoid the conclusion that this decision opens the door to reversal of these basic constitutional concepts. The example of schools is, I think, sufficient to indicate the pervasive potentialities of this 'public...
...Acclimation. Physicians and trainers will have to figure out the best way to overcome the oxygen shortage. The obvious answer is acclimation. People who are born and raised at altitudes like Mexico City's seem to have no problem, and people who go there to live eventually adapt to the rarefied air. The question that bedevils international physiologists is how long to allow for such acclimation...
...becomes an engineering nightmare. The sails are all designed as gores taken from a master sphere. V-shaped ribs are cast from master molds on the site. Eventually these neo-Gothic ribs will be sheathed in white tiles, leaving the skeleton visible from beneath. It took three years to adapt Utzon's spherical geometry to actual construction, using computers to ensure that 170-ft. ribs weighing 80 tons would fit to a fraction of an inch...

The proportions of the current call-up allow some students to continue their education while others are taken. The present system of quotas and reports has not been flexible enough to adapt to the new situation, and so the selective service has become selectively arbitrary...

"The contrast between the polished and torn surfaces is precisely the difficulty of the individual to adapt to a new world," he feels. What he finds within evokes a strange and curious crystalline imagery drawn from the machine. His slabs look like the innards of computers, his spheres like ball-shaped printing heads for IBM typewriters. He did a facade for a Cologne school that is 78 ft. high...
