...years use a "reheat" cooling technology. Under the serpentine logic of this system, air is chilled to the lowest degree needed to cool the warmest part of the building; it is then reheated to cool those parts that are not so warm. But soon much more new construction will employ a "variable-volume" system in which dampers are adjusted by thermostats to vary the amount of air distributed. The dampers simply send warm areas the maximum amount of cool air possible, while lessening the flow to the coolest areas. A new U.S. General Services Administration building in Manchester, N.H., will...
Hinting darkly that some Scandinavian and Communist countries already employ such techniques, Western coaches and trainers have been searching for years for a safe, drugless way of improving athletes' performances.

The Internal Revenue Service also struck Magruder as a useful tool for controlling press coverage: "Just a threat...
...which he even perhaps deserved: he had had the energy to people a big novel with a lot of boldly drawn characters and keep them moving through incidents and operatic set pieces. Beyond that, he was a man of sense and rugged principle-though his heroes all seemed to employ the same turgid speechwriter...
