Frequency modulation can be described as changing the length of the radio wave. Amplitude modulation changes the wave's strength. Interference noises can simulate amplitude modulation and therefore disturb signals broadcast by this system, but they do not simulate frequency modulation. Thus frequency-modulated signals skip neatly past the interference, whether lightning bolt or icebox motor. One catch is that ultrashort wave length of limited range must be used...
...Baccalaureate advice "Neglect the tumult of the moment," however complacent they may become in the face of wars and panics and clashing ideologies, there is still enough energy left in them for just a little tumult. Harvard's seniors are still interested in Harvard, and they are willing to disturb the mellow mood of returning alumni in order to explain that there are other changes at Harvard besides the House system, and that they are not all to the good...

But when he talked about "problems which may now or hereafter appear likely to disturb international order," looked forward to a "peace settlement" and even referred to "economic Lebensraum" for Germany, many anti-Nazi Britons were sure that the British Government, through its Foreign Secretary, was talking appeasement again on the pre-Munich model...

On the snow-sprinkled platform Indians, school children, townspeople hoping against hope that they might glimpse their sovereigns, were overjoyed when Queen Elizabeth, motioning the King to follow...
