...past two years, challenging the Harvard Cooperative Society's plans for an annex on Palmer Street, he has vanquished or at least equaled every expert sent into the lists to meet him. And he emerged from the fight last week with a $45,000 settlement from the Coop...
...presented a painstaking and cohesive case. The 1957 Buick they claimed had led them on an 80-m.p.h. chase was tested on a treadmill to prove it was still capable of such high speeds; a similar car was used to re-enact the shooting for photographic exhibits. A ballistics expert testified that gunpowder burns on the victim's shirt proved the gun had been fired inside the car, and a physiologist was brought in to verify that a man thrown off balance would tend to make a reflexive clutching movement that could pull a trigger...
Interesting Defect. Pablo's art requires the touch of a miniaturist, the steadiness of a demolition expert. He has both, plus an assorted palette of six watercolor shades and seven sable brushes of various sizes and shapes-shaving-brush thick for blush powder, pencil-thin for under-eyeliner.

...this market fully. The U.S. and British governments still refuse permits for the sale to the East of such advanced third-generation equipment as the IBM System/360 and English Electric's System 4, which computer commissars want to buy most of all.

"In most cases," commented one American expert, "the machines are too sophisticated for the problems. The Communists are very good in theory, but they have had no opportunity to try computers in practice. They have to learn...
Where Borstal Boy ended, Confessions begins: the teen-age I.R.A. demolitions expert, discharged from British reform school and launched on the short, sputtering, sodden, prison-checkered career that led down a hill to fame and death. It reads like a drunk shouting in a pub, happy as only such a man can be, and only half-remembering, not entirely clear in his mind what he wants to say. But the infectious Behan rhythm is unmistakable, and so is the Behan tongue. Mountjoy Prison, Strangeways Jail, bouts on the Left Bank, a party for a colleen celebrating her abortion, pimping...
