...emphasis on more important aspects of service. It was not anticipated that the change in haircut policy would become an issue in some units and between various groups within the Army."

The offending ad will soon be dropped "because of the possible misinterpretation that the Army is more permissive-which it is not-and that the Army condones long, unkempt hair-which...
Almost every evening, smiling embassy staffers in black Mao suits whisk small groups of dinner guests up to the green-carpeted Juliana penthouse. Before ushering them into an eight-course dinner, Huang might offer them Double Happiness cigarettes from a circular gold tin and a tall, lidded cup of green jasmine tea. As a host, Huang has become known for his determination to keep conversation light and innocuous and for his eagerness to reach out to all sorts of people.

The largest of these is the two-mile-long machine at Stanford University, which recently had its power increased to 22 billion electron volts.* The other, more common form is the circular accelerator, which whips particles round a ring-shaped tunnel to get them up to speed. With the monster at Batavia not yet in operation, the world's most powerful atom smasher is the Soviets' 76 billion-electron-volt accelerator near Moscow. As in some other circular accelerators, Batavia...
