...hard for a new term, the theater management finally relented, promised to integrate if the students would call off the demonstrations. Bail set for the students was eliminated, and they were released from the jail. Only one thing marred the victory: unless police and the theater management agree to dismiss them, the students still face charges of trespass and disorderly conduct...
...figure who probably knows more about the peregrinations of Europe's masterpieces than any man alive. But it is not just his huge file of photographs or his unparalleled collection of auction catalogues, or even his incredible memory, that accounts for his ability to spot a fake or dismiss a work of mediocrity within the blink of an eyelid. His father, who fled his native Alsace when the Prussians swarmed through it in 1870 and started the secondhand store in Paris from which the great art empire grew, put his son through a highly personal and rigorous training.

...from underestimating the importance of the self-perpetuating psychological barriers created by segregation. Nor do I dismiss the contribution of liberals to social change in our country.

We establish a heirarchy of society from "scientist" to "drunkard" (as if no scientists were also alcoholics!) and the IQ test becomes...
Actually, U.S. defense planners still see no real military need for a new nuclear force in NATO, since the U.S. striking power is so great. Used to big numbers, they dismiss De Gaulle's force as being less than 2% of the striking power of U.S. missiles and aircraft. But at that, De Gaulle's Mirage IV and Etendard IV planes will carry 50-kiloton bombs-more than twice the power of the bomb that leveled Hiroshima. As part of McNamara's conviction that the manned bomber will soon be obsolete, De Gaulle's force will...
...Brighton, England, now think that it does. They have taken another short but promising step toward control of viral infections by using IDU against herpes simplex, the virus of fever blisters, in cases where the sores had broken out on the upper lip, nostril or cheek. Doctors usually dismiss cold sores as trivial, but the virus may cause a fatal inflammation if it spreads to the brain; it can cause blindness if it reaches the eyes. Some of the British patients already had corneal infections...
