Preserve in Perpetuity. The durability of tape raises the possibility of recording the nation's best teachers to make them available on any campus. "We now have the capability," says the U.S. Office of Education's James Conner, "to preserve our teachers in perpetuity"-although the constant scholarly need for new interpretations of new research makes that a debatable necessity. In practice, each university likes to think that it can teach as well as the next, and little such exchange is going on.

Search planes had logged 593 hours in 351 sorties, probing an almost constant cloud cover for the little grey plane. Three ground teams had been unable to find the wreckage, and the search was called off after two weeks.

The conditions Greenway was forced to work under were a measure of Greenway the man. He is well known at TIME for his sartorial splendor and neat English accent, polished during two years of graduate study at Oxford and subsequent world travels. Tigers and elephants, which he sometimes sees on operations in Viet Nam, make Greenway think...
