...pointed to a fatal flaw of the W.J.T.: its lack of focus. "A newspaper should have a distinctive personality," said New York Times Managing Editor Clifton Daniel. "It doesn't matter who runs it so long as it is commanded by a single intelligence and a single concept." Other than that, it does not have to be a newspaper in the traditional sense. "It could be a vastly smaller operation with a different philosophy and outlook," says one publisher. "I've always thought that there was a place in New York for another highbrow newspaper," says Walter Lippmann...
Constantine may be successful in forcing the military to restore a civilian government that fulfills his own notion of "democracy." The U.S. should not be satisfied with the king's very limited concept; nor should this country rely solely upon him to exert influence on the military rulers...
...vital element in the criminal jury system that the U.S. has inherited from Britain is the concept of unanimity. For a man to be convicted, the prosecution must persuade every juror that he is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The hope is that a holdout will sometimes prevent a miscarriage of justice. But in Britain the unanimity requirement is about to be abandoned...
...that a large antenna could be duplicated electronically by a smaller device. The solution, he felt intuitively, was a miniature antenna with an active, built-in transistor circuit. Unable to perfect the mini-antenna himself, he turned to other electronics experts for help but was told repeatedly that his concept was not feasible. To work efficiently, they said, an antenna had to be physically at least one-quarter as long as the wave length of its design frequency. In the frequency range used by television, for example, this requires antennas at least a few feet long...
Stubby Arms. Finally, during a 1963 visit to Germany, Turner mentioned his idea to Physicist Hans Meinke, a micro wave expert whose research is partially financed by the U.S. Air Force. Meinke immediately grasped Turner's concept, volunteered to work on it, and was awarded an Air Force contract. Now, after four years of mathematical analysis and laboratory work, he has finally built several prototype models of the mini-antennas that Turner visualized. The simplest of Meinke's devices, which the Air Force calls Subminiature Integrated Antennas (SIA), consists of three stubby, pencil-sized arms, each at tached...
