...heard before-or to listen to nothing but the fan. The results should be encouraging to Mozart buffs. The rats exposed to his music during their compulsory concerts overwhelmingly tuned in on him. The group indoctrinated by Schoenberg split almost evenly between him and Mozart-as did the control group, which was unfamiliar with both composers...
Riley sat at a blinking console in Mission Control, listening in on the space talk and efficiently translating the alphabet soup of acronyms and numbers to newsmen for nine or ten hours at a time. Getting ready before blastoff, he waded through the documents generated by Apollo 10 (a stack of paper more than a foot high) and interviewed the key men involved.

The immediate cause of the cancellation, however, was the Army's disbelief that a "satisfactory aircraft would be delivered." Rotor stability and control problems had shown up in tests of ten prototypes, one of which crashed. Some critics believe that the Cheyenne was a classic example of "brochuremanship"-the practice of selling the Pentagon on a new weapons system even before the contractor is reasonably certain that it can perform to specifications.

Last week the Beatles lost control of Northern Songs when a consortium of financial companies added their 14% to Associated's holdings and made a deal in which it will name four of the six directors.

Joe's heterosexual encounters are treated with suppressed smirks. During one love session he bounces up and down on a TV remote control, so that Schlesinger can represent his athletics with quick TV clicks of Al Jolson in blackface, a bishop preaching and a Stegosaurus lunging through a forest...
