Decision to Defect. Twice married and twice divorced during the days when she was the apple of her father's eye, Svetlana applied in the early 1960s to marry Brajesh Singh, an Indian Communist living in Moscow. She was refused permission, an act that she found "disgustful." Trained as a writer and English translator, Svetlana was also aware that she could never publish her autobiography-a Life-With-Father memoir that the Kremlin would not allow to be printed. When Singh fell seriously ill last year with a respiratory ailment, he and Svetlana were not allowed to return...
...slim, white hull slide down the ways of City Island, N.Y. Along with 500 well-wishers, Mosbacher was on hand last week for the launching of Intrepid, the 12-meter yacht he will skipper against Australia in the America's Cup this fall. It took only half an eye to see that she was a far cry from the old Weatherly Bus sailed to victory against the Aussies' Gretel in 1962-or for that matter, from any other 12-meter ever put together...

If the eye is taking in large bunches of words out of order, the faster they are linked together and the more that come in should determine how much the words will mean to the reader. Also, the mind can understand words as fast as the eye sees them and does not have to wait a quarter second before allowing the eye to move on to the next words...
Reading dynamically has only one thing in common with conventional reading: fixation time is the same, about one-quarter of a second. But the number of fixations is reduced by at least 90 per cent. Reading is from eye to mind, rather than from eye to ear to mind. The terms return sweep and regression have lost all meaning. Right to left diagonal eye movement usually dominates over the old left to right because it seems to be easier...
