But French Ambassador André François-Poncet got something interesting from the Dictator when Herr Hitler responded to some remarks from the Ambassador by observing: "I trust that no mother will ever have cause to weep in consequence of any action of mine." Henchmen of Hitler whispered that earlier that day he had sent Henlein back to Prague with the smooth advice, "Ask for more-and you will...

Harmonic analysis is that branch of mathematics concerned with the study of fluctuating or oscillating motions. Ever since the 18th Century mathematicians have occupied themselves with the hypothetical case of an infinite piece of string. In how many ways could such a string vibrate? Today the problem has taken a more practical turn. Mathematicians want to separate complex waves and oscillations into simpler movements. Chief use for harmonic analysis is study of the problems presented by the whirls and eddies of air around airplane wings. For example, harmonic analysis makes it possible to measure the varying speed at different points...

But those who have ever spent a night in Miami or Havana know that "high lie" is the way you pronounce the Cuban national game, spelled jai alai and played by scooping the ball in mid-air with shallow wicker baskets and hurling it against the walls of a long concrete court...
