...level, people seem to agree on what education means. One must know how to read, one must understand the rudiments of the rationalistic-scientific consciousness that pervades modern societies, one must learn the basic responsibilities of citizenship in order to be able to function as a member of society, etc...
...even feel that in the great number of words and subjects--all that is 'said'--there is more truly 'revealed.' A disheartening monotony pervades the fresh editions of criticism, the flashy or clever works of fiction, the slim volumes of poetry, the exposes, the tracts of pop culture, etc. The majority of these bear no stamp of true originality, and seem destined for tired and dated shelf space, intellectual curiosities to some future generation...
...literature for her course prompted Daugherty and 40 other people to compile information for a Yellow Pages for West Virginia Women. Like the Boston and New England versions of these "yellow pages," the book, to be published in May, focuses on women's concerns in employment, health, education, law, etc., but addresses itself specifically to West Virginia women. One section, for example, explores opportunities for women in coal mining. Another part describes emerging small industries run by women, such as quilting cooperatives; only recently have these women begun to market and sell the region's traditional crafts and handwork...
...etc. could hardly have arrived at a more propitious moment, for in this issue TIME presents a special 15-page section entitled "The Computer Society." The report explains just how the world of electronic sorcery works, and examines its impact on our daily lives. To make such a complicated technical phenomenon understandable, a team of six correspondents, five writers, four reporter-researchers and three photographers spent a month interviewing scientists, visiting manufacturing plants and trying out the newest and most exciting computerized products...
Back in the ovens, the wafers are baked again in an atmosphere of gases loaded with "dopants." Like oil stains in a concrete driveway, these impurities soak into the underlying silicon. Since chips usually contain as many as ten layers, all these steps-"rusting," photomasking, etching, baking, etc.-must be repeated for each layer. Then the entire wafer is coated with an aluminum conductor, which also must be masked, etched and bathed in acid. Finally, an eagle-eyed computerized probe scans the wafer for defective circuitry and marks the bad chips in red. The wafer is then separated...
