...named for Illinois' Republican Representative Paul Findley, who managed to attach to the 1966 Agricultural Appropriation Act a rider forbidding the subsidized shipment of U.S. food to "any nation that sells or furnishes any equipment, materials or commodifies" to North Viet Nam. As it happens, the Yugoslavs have been sending Hanoi blood, bandages and other medical supplies.

Man is the turning point where the Path of Pursuit gradually yields to the Path of Return. Hence, both Hindus and Buddhists attach immeasurable importance to birth in human form...
...simple fluidic circuit, the power stream is fed into the base leg of a Ylike arrangement of tubes or channels. As the stream flows through the Y toward outlets at the end of two diverging arms, a fluid-flow phenomenon, called "the Coanda effect," causes the stream to attach itself to one side of the circuit and to flow out through only one of the arms...
...control jet" of air, blown perpendicular to the power stream as it passes through the base leg, can force the stream to attach itself to the opposite side of the circuit. When that happens, the power stream flows out entirely through the other arm of the Y. A puff of the other control jet reverses the process, just as a small voltage change on the grid of a vacuum tube can control a relatively heavy flow of current through the tube's plate circuit. Like a vacuum tube, the fluidic circuit can thus be used as a switch...

The delegates did not represent a fair cross section of college students, teachers, and administrators. But it would be equally unfair to dismiss the conference as a bunch of leftists suggesting predictable reforms. Many of the students who came were presidents of their college councils, not simply disgruntled SDS types...
