...Animals. Such a vessel could have been built while lying at an angle on one side. Animals could easily climb a gentle incline on a side and enter through a door. As the ark began to float, it would right itself; as a result, the door would tilt and become a skylight in the roof, and water could not enter the craft from its sides. The design, according to Ben-Uri, could easily accommodate three decks and provide a capacity of some 5,500 tons, enough for at least 1,000 pairs of animals...
...triple canopy of foliage on teak and mahogany trees as high as 200 feet. In topography, Khe Sanh looks like a smaller version of Dienbienphu, but the terrain and underbrush are far worse for an attacker. The Communists must go downhill through terrible maneuvering grounds, cross the ravines, then climb the plateau on which Khe Sanh sits?all in the face of intensive artillery fire and air attack that the French at Dienbienphu did not have...
...situation today is just about the same as during the late 1966 decline and the early 1967 rise: there are uncertainties about military and monetary problems abroad, about inflation and taxes and urban problems at home.

Eventually, he suggested, private donors will give up, or support only highly specialized projects, while federal taxes pick up the main burden and local and state revenues meet the expanding needs of the lower levels of education...
...educational costs have begun to soar. Kingman Brewster, president of Yale, estimates that his operating budget will climb from 89 million dollars to 206 milion dollars by 1976 without a change in enrollment. At present, no one foresees any significant increase in public or private aid to cover these rising costs. If the Bank loans were generally available, Congress and wealthy donors might even feel justified in reducing the present level of their aid. Since the Zaccharias plan assures that every student can finance his education regardless of its cost, colleges would probably raise student charges to incredibly high levels...
