...which must always know its precise location, are banks of digital computers. They are linked to the ship's inertial navigation system (SINS). The three SINS, which check each other, dangle from the stable ceiling platform of the Ethan Allen's navigation center. They contain a secret array of spinning gyroscopes and accelerometers, can measure the most minute variation in the ship's movement due to drift. A computer called NAVDAC (for navigation data assimilation computer) records the position changes detected by SINS...
...scientists, though, the Quiet Years will bring hundreds of changes worth close attention. Besides being less ionized, the upper atmosphere will probably contain less ozone, and its absence will probably change the temperature of the stratosphere, and the effect may reach all the way down to the ground. No one knows now what this will do-or whether it will do anything-to the actual climate of the earth's inhabited areas. To find out, the scientists will launch a stream of highflying balloons, fire volleys of rockets into the upper atmosphere. One picturesque Iksee project will loose unmanned...

They rarely participate in extracurricular activities, with the exception of creative arts. When, they do act, write, paint, or play instruments -- it is usually extremely well. Probably they wrote poetry when they were young...
Although Cliffies, unlike Yardlings, still had to account for their whereabouts, the RGA (which, it must be remembered, is strongly influenced by the Administration) justified this continued signout requirement as a safety precaution that did not contain any moral overtones. According to this theory, female undergraduates, due to certain physiological characteristics, confronted a more hazardous existence than their male counterparts. The signout system would, therefore, make it easier for housemothers, deans, and police officers to come to the aid of the damsels in distress...
...retaliatory forces, even if the Soviets concentrate solely on these targets. Therefore the only way in which the Russians can hope to threaten America is to aim their missiles at the population centers of the U. S. and Western Europe. The 25 major metropolitan areas in the United States contain 60.8 million persons, and thus the Soviet Union can threaten immediate destruction for at least a third of the American people. This is a minimal estimate and leaves out over two-thirds of the Soviet striking force and post-attack deaths from fallout, starvation, disease and other factors...
