...poetry ("Put the Sense back in Sensitivity" will be our slogan), and I shall nominate Arthur Freeman to charter membership. "Cambridge Seasonal" is an urbane, amusing, richly textured, and formal satire on Cambridge. The characters are old Cambridge ladies "in black woolens," young Cambridge lovers "who link, unlink, attach, detach," professors "with owlish eyes, benign white features, glossy skin, and crystal-clear clock-work within," a townie "with raw brown eyes, red hands, warts, weatherbeaten levis, and a real beery leer," and even a Radcliffe girl ("Something from Radcliffe cycles by").

...another source of animosity and resistance to Federal Court orders to integrate. For those administering Federal aid to public schools, Southern school boards must be viewed as experiencing growing pains, not as defying the law of the land. The squabble over the NDEA affidavit demonstrates how attempts to attach irrelevant principles as strings to Federal aid can ruin an otherwise good program...
...Capitol Hill. In setting up the agencies, beginning with the Interstate Commerce Commission in 1887, Congress deliberately insulated them from presidential control.

Some plastics, Snyder admitted, will surely be weakened by the ultraviolet light that abounds in space. But others may actually be strengthened. He explained that ultraviolet does its damage by breaking the plastic's molecular chains and permitting oxygen and other gases to attach themselves to the broken ends, thus making the break permanent. In space this will not happen. The loose ends of chains broken by ultraviolet will usually find no gases to combine with. They are free to recombine with other loose ends, giving the plastic a strong, cross-braced structure...
