...expose such wrongdoing is one aim of the McClellan committee. But much more important is the committee's responsibility for finding legislative methods of punishment and prevention. Indeed, the health of the whole U.S. economy may depend on the work of the committee, for, as McClellan says, "if left alone, unchecked and unrestrained, with the momentum it has already gained, we could be heading for a gangsterism economy in America. This must not occur...
...Finish. Willing to try anything to make their charges swim faster. Australian coaches experiment with special diets (Murray Rose stokes up on seaweed jelly) and novel styles. A few have even tried hypnotism. But like good coaches anywhere, they depend most on grinding work. In the year preceding the Melbourne Olympics, Australian team members trained hard for ten months, swam six days a week, covered an estimated 80 miles apiece each month. Many of them took a ten weeks' calisthenics course in a Sydney gym, tossed medicine balls, chinned the horizontal bar, did pushups. Buoyant...

...make observations beyond the earth's atmosphere, the instruments in a satellite must be kept fairly cool. The job is harder than it sounds. Space is neither hot nor cold, but an object exposed to sunlight in space may get pretty hot. The temperature that it reaches will depend on how its surface absorbs and emits radiation. If the energy that it absorbs from sunlight is greater than the energy that it emits as heat rays, the body's temperature will rise. The amount of heat rays that it emits will rise too. Eventually, the outgoing heat will...
...much in the curriculum and organization of the department that might be improved. Quite rightly viewing mastery of the classical languages as essential, the department gives a series of half courses of supposedly ascending difficulty in various authors. Class discussion is quite broad, but examinations for the most part depend on the spewing out of prepared translations with an occasional cursory essay thrown in, and papers are almost unknown. Something beyond this should be expected of students theoretically beyond the elementary level. Analysis of text alone, however worthy as a discipline, leaves a good deal to be desired in transmitting...
