The services have been far ahead of public schools in the use of training films, overhead projectors, programmed instruction, individual audio aids, and closed-circuit television. Under McNamara, they have been pressured to prune all nonessential information from their training programs to increase efficiency-and the pruning works. When superfluous material was cut out of a communications repair course at Fort Knox, the rate of flunk-outs dropped from...
...most unlikely confrontation. In a clear-cut civil rights dispute, both protagonists were white. One was a judge, the upholder of law and order, the other a clergyman, ordinarily the advocate of peace and patience. Yet the test of wills between Milwaukee Circuit Judge Robert Cannon and the Rev.

They are at work in the radiation measurement system aboard Lunar Orbiter I and will be used in the Apollo Project's lunar excursion module. ICs are used in the new ground-surveillance radar system at the Atlanta airport and are being designed into most new military and commercial computers. Within the last year, the tiny chips have...
