Linear Y. Branching. Skinnerians have proved something, but not to the satisfaction of a rival school of anti-behavioral programers led by Psychologist Norman A. Crowder of U.S. Industries' Western Design & Electronics division in Santa Barbara, Calif. While Skinner deplores multiple-choice questions because they contain "plausible" errors that students may remember, Crowder bases his whole approach on multiple choices. Instead of small steps, Crowder programs big chunks of information followed by a question with alternate answers. Choosing a right answer wins the student an advanced frame; a wrong answer sends him to a remedial frame with an explanation...

The Oath of Office for Vice President and other Government offices, as provided in the U.S. Code, has those words, but Vice President Lyndon Johnson did not use them.

In brief, however, his argument rests on the proposition that "arms control schemes will be effective if they contain their own incentive for observation and if there can be confidence, not in the other side but in the control arrangement." This would not be true, he asserts, of total disarmament, a slight evasion of which would result in enormous gain, and which would thereby prove an irresistible temptation for the aggressive power. Stabilization at a relatively high level...
...most frequently cited arguments against immediate action is that very little land exists in Cambridge that does not contain at least a shack. Overdevelopment is particularly evident around the University itself, a district whose primarily residential character imposes decided restrictions on any construction that Harvard may anticipate. Because of those intrinisc limitations and because overdevelopment has caused land values to skyrocket, the University reasons that it must embark on a program aimed mainly at conversion of its own open land and out-dated facilities...
