Parietals, to Palazzo, were only incidental. They were part of a much bigger problem. "The University," he said, "is trying to resist change. It is trying to remain a sexually segregated institution in a world that is not like that." In the beginning, Palazzo said that among other things he wanted coeducational dormitories and the total elimination of parietal restrictions...
...stands. The effects will be felt by nearly every segment of the U.S. economy. Imported Volkswagens, for instance, will probably cost less to the U.S. consumer, as will French cheeses, Swiss watches, Japanese cameras, Italian ceramics and Hong Kong silk suits.

...regularly scheduled transatlantic liner. At the time that the 80,000-ton Queen Mary made her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York in May 1936, only the French Line's Normandie could rival her for size and speed.* Within six months, work was underway on her even bigger sister ship, the 83,000-ton Queen Elizabeth, whose maiden trip to New York in 1940, coming as it did after the outbreak of World War II, was shrouded in secrecy. The Queens served as troop ships throughout the war, eluding German submarines and planes to carry as many...
...consists of three stubby, pencil-sized arms, each at tached to one of the three terminals of a transistor. Combined with the electrical properties of capacitance, inductance and resistance in the antenna arms, the transistor forms a circuit that has a low resonant frequency and thus "looks" physically bigger to incoming radio waves. Using the receiver to which it is attached as a power source, it can amplify by a factor of ten to 100 the small currents induced in the antenna by radio waves. Eliminated Ears. "Although the theory is pretty complicated," explains Turner, "we have in effect substituted...
Still, there is no walking away from the circle of slightly sweated faces. "Come on, come on, your two dollars to my ten, and I'll spot you four balls. Hey?"
