...even though Johnson was tagged a lame duck as soon as he announced his intention to withdraw, he is now in fact a bird of rather singular muscularity. He retains the allegiance of countless party regulars, labor officials, businessmen and civil rights leaders. There is every likelihood that his rating in the public-opinion polls will rise considerably as a result of the renunciation. Together, these factors will give him considerable leverage, which he has not had in recent months. And Lyndon Johnson, who above all else craves a favorable verdict from history, will undoubtedly use those levers...
Cinemascope Production. Israeli farmers got a panoramic view of the battle from slit trenches near the river. They called it "a Cinemascope production." The broad Beisan valley, green with ripening winter crops and blossoming trees, was painted with countless columns of rising black smoke. Israeli planes dive-bombed Jordanian positions, then wheeled west into the sun to confound the aim of Arab anti aircraft gunners.

Harnwell approvingly calls "a quiet revolution," carried out with neither malice nor militancy, students have been ushered into the corridors of power, and at Penn they now wield more control over their destinies than do their peers at other schools of its size...
...rates, or that radio-controlled garage doors are fouling up aircraft communications, or that shrimp-boat captains are uttering obscenities on ship-to-shore frequencies, it is the FCC that takes the rap. Besides all this, the FCC grapples with Comsat and community TV antenna development, not to mention countless research chores, such as the POPSI Project-measurement of "Precipitation and other types of Off-Path Scatter Interference" on satellite and microwave communications...
