Feinbloom's binoculars are telemicroscopes mounted bifocal-style in the lower portion of ordinary prescription glasses. Made up of four lenses (one of them a "doublet" of two lenses cemented together) separated by three sealed air spaces, the tiny, high-powered units not only provide magnification but also correct aberrations. They are focused so that the lines of vision of both eyes converge at the normal reading distance of 16 inches. Since he developed the new glasses (price $300), Feinbloom has tried them out on 360 "blind" people. He has found fewer than ten whom they failed to help...

...letter to Gale, Pusey suggested that this was not possible. "The College dean's office," Pusey wrote, "does not require membership lists of political organizations, so, of course, we would not be able to give this information even if requested to do so." This statement, however, is not wholly correct. Harvard keeps a record of the officers of all student organizations, and reserves the right of access to membership lists of political organizations, though this right is rarely exercised. It is unclear, therefore, whether the court would rule that Harvard is unable to comply with a possible HUAC order...

...businessmen, bankers and most politicians on both sides of the Atlantic are concerned, that final version had better be correct. In 16 years on the job, Martin has grown to be a symbol of monetary integrity; he is inflation's most powerful Washington foe. His departure not only could shake the business confidence that Johnson covets for his Administration, but it might undermine faith in the dollar abroad-particularly among Europeans who can act on their misgivings by swapping dollars for U.S. gold. A high Canadian finance official echoed a common sentiment when he warned: "If Johnson doesn...

...Lardner is partly correct. There are such ample resources in the United States today to finance the training of teachers and scholars that the Woodrow Wilson School emphatically does wish to use its own resources to train people who will enter that very broad domain known as public affairs. But there are increasingly large numbers of public affairs problems, particularly those requiring highly sophisticated techniques of analysis, which are only approachable by people whose education extends through the Ph.D. level. That is why it sometimes advises its graduates to enter other Ph.D. programs. Law school is a different matter. Those...

Perhaps the 15 authors of the above letter are correct in questioning the use of the word "establishment." I did not mean to imply that Woodrow Wilson students are precise replicas of President Johnson, or that they are conservative in any but the broadest sense of the word. What I did mean was that they tend to identify with the administration, or more generally with the government, and to tackle issues with due consideration for all the constraints operating on officials actually faced by those issues. Given the school's purpose, there is nothing necessarily wrong with this...
