Artul Equivocations are even worse; lynx-eyed sly little rascals that we are, we see right through them. (Up to Exam No.40. The our lynx-eyelids droop, and grading habits relax. Try to get on the bottom of the pile.) Again it is not that A.E.'s are vicious or ludicrous as such; but in quantity they become sheer madness. Or induce it. "The 20th Century has never recovered from the effect of Marx or Freud." (V.G.); "but whether this a good thing or a bad thing is difficult to say." (A.E.) Now one might be droll enough...

It is painful for her to sit still for any length of time, her hands idle, her thoughts closing in on her. Then her pert features droop, reflecting the ravages of sorrow...

...m.p.h. manned missile. Boring ahead faster than a rifle bullet, it takes pictures of astonishing clarity from as high as 80,000 feet. Over the panhandle and Laos, most of the monitoring is the task of the 432nd Tactical Reconnaissance Wing flying out of Udorn in northern Thailand. Its droop-nosed RF-4C Phantoms, unarmed and unescorted, shoot up to a cumulative seven miles of film on the 40 to 50 sorties that the 432nd flies each...
