...Mephistopheles. For Rudolf Bing, it's all in a day's work. At 64, he is the undisputed lord of the manor, and he looks it. Though in physique (6 ft., 139 Ibs.) he resembles a patrician heron stuffed into herringbone, there is an impeccably correct bearing about him that says "Beware: regal and remote." His face and grey-fringed dome, all right-angle turns, are a study in parchment over steel. A Vienna-born English subject, he could easily pass as the British ambassador to Paris-a job that he wouldn't mind having...
...their theory is correct, though, such crying babies would not actually have colic, which characteristically involves wind trapped in the stomach and intestines and is relieved by passing the air orally or rectally. Otherwise, the bone-bothered babies behave much like their colicky brothers. They begin crying between 6 and 10 at night, keep it up for hours, even if fed or fondled, cannot be treated with complete success, and will suddenly quit their nightly crying jags when they are four months...
...accomplish more in the executive branch," he said. "You could accomplish more with a telephone call." Yet he has already shown signs that he will be a far more influential Senator than Jack, whose most memorable accomplishments in the upper house were his Algeria speech and a bill to correct union abuses that was incorporated into the Landrum-Griffin Act.

That's Correct. The first thing that the student does is peck his name out on the Teletype (to kids who write "Batman," the computer politely responds, "Please file again"). This enables the computer brain to run through the student's record of instruction and achievement and pick his next drill. One reading drill, for instance, consists of teaching the student to combine the initial sounds r, p and b with the endings an, at and ag, to make ban, pan, ran, bat, pat, rat, bag and rag. As each word flashes on the screen, the taped voice...
...Secret. If Goerner's story is correct, why is it that neither the U.S. nor the Japanese government will confirm it? That is what he wants to know. There is a sinister conspiracy in Washington, Goerner hints, aimed at keeping things hushed up, even so many years after the event. And the Japanese won't talk, he adds, because they fear that an admission of complicity would damage their hopes of recovering some of the Pacific islands that became part of a U.N. trust territory after the war. That farfetched notion will be news to the Japanese...
