...configuration, the application of a control jet merely deflects the power stream by an amount proportional to the intensity of the jet. As the output of the two legs varies with the strength of the control jet, the fluidic circuit is once more something of a vacuum tube.

To be sure, Congress receives 100,000 letters a day, a vast percentage of them constituents' requests for anything from Fort Knox gold bricks to intercession with regulatory agencies.

Stetson's offense was accepting $845,000 in federal grants to construct a science building and add to its law school. By contrast, the Kentucky convention in effect authorized Baptist-backed schools in the state to accept federal loans if their administrators...
