He made a target date of 1963, put his men and contractors to work on system-development projects that enveloped the whole weapon-a new kind of nuclear sub, fuels, missiles, guidance networks, navigation...

Hatta obligingly announced that he would have "no part of any government formed under the pressure of rebel threats," and the Sultan of Djokiakarta took time off from examining model dairy farms at the University...
Back in the 1920's the ambitions ladies of the Harvard Annex published a daily newspaper. At a cost of $2.00 a year, The Radcliffe Daily, which claimed "the honor of being the official spokesman of Radcliffe, furnished students with up-to-date news of the college and community...
