...last summer I started out from a youth hostel in Inverness, at the end of Loch Ness in Scotland. I left the hostel at 8 a.m. on my motorcycle. She was a vintage, 1958 blue Triumph, a bit rusty around the crankcase, but like a good woman, faithful...
...juxtaposition was a bit unusual, but the effect was nonetheless smashing. The lady's hair was done up in a geisha girl's double bun and her eyes were shadowed to achieve a slight upward slant. The dress, on the other hand, was a frilly white lace affair with a high puffed collar and velvet ribbons -quite British and faintly Victorian. Lord Snowdon took the photograph of his wife sitting in the tall grass of what appeared to be a country meadow (actually part of their Kensington Palace gardens in downtown London), and there was a certain amount...
...that the scriptwriters are running out of diseases. In this week's premiere, for example, O. J. Simpson plays a guest role as an All-America college halfback desperately trying to suppress symptoms of a mystery ailment lest it jeopardize a $500,000 pro offer.

Soon after, Busch discovered that the soil at Newport News would not support a brewery, and he took Rockefeller up on his offer...
...third reason is a bit more complicated. In the early sixties, the Pentagon's Defense Science Board invetigated the state of social science research and concluded. among other things, that one development which would help the social scientists along the road to developing a "real" science would be to organize themselvesinto research institutes along the lines of the natural science institutes which are found on many university campuses. Such development, it was felt, would increase interaction between social scientists and thus further the creation of an integrated discipline of "hard" social science. Shortly after this report was released, Licklider joined...
