Nevertheless, the general circumstances of the OBU demonstrations distinguish them in fact, and perhaps in principle, from the SDS demonstration...
...grown-up thinking. An infant, for example, initially may suck at almost anything that comes near his mouth; soon, when he is hungry, he learns to persevere only when his lips close over a nipple. The reflex-driven gropings by which he learns to recognize the nipple and distinguish it from a rattle, as Piaget sees it, are a first use of trial-and-error logic. Piaget considers this learning process of infancy one phase in the first of four distinct but sometimes overlapping stages. The other stages: ages two to seven, seven to eleven, and eleven...
...awhile we all wrote poems about our depressions and called it "the drifting, fading and languishing school." Then we wrote liberal poems about our childhoods and families (discreetly calling it nothing but knowing in our hearts that it was "the Life Studies school.") An occasional tic of style would distinguish one of us from the others-and the style was good, don't get me wrong, competent and finished-but we had sheepishly to admit that we could spot each others' line sequences from a mile away and that those oh so-recognisable adjective arrangements sometimes haunted...
...Miriam, a ghost tale in the manner of Henry James, a loquacious Nanny (Mildred Natwick) is persecuted by a dead-eyed little girl (Susan Dunfee). Capote, who wrote the story at the age of 17, may be excused for an inability to distinguish between the gothic and the baroque. The Perrys, who clutter the episode with hollow scenes, flat performances and melodramatic terror-music, cannot be so easily...
...dating each ice layer like growth rings on a tree, the scientists have been able to use the oxygen-isotope ratio to chart yearly variations in weather to depths of 300 ft. Beyond that level, the annual record becomes blurred. But it is still clear enough to let scientists distinguish broad climatological trends. Analysis of the layers showed, for example, that the earth's last ice age began some 70,000 years ago and did not end until about 10,000 years ago. The investigators also made some long-range forecasts. Projecting the established weather pattern, they predicted that...
