...Strategic Air Command constitutes "a threat to peace," because it sends bombers armed with hydrogen weapons flying toward Russia whenever an unexplained "blip" appears on U.S. radar screens, proved a dismal flop before the U.N. Security Council. Since the U.S. was easily able to prove the safeguards in its "Fail Safe" technique-which prevents any U.S. plane from actually proceeding to a Russian target without personal orders from the President-Russia found no supporting votes for its accusation in the eleven-nation Security Council. Arkady Sobolev was compelled to withdraw his resolution, a display of ineptness rare in recent Soviet...
...actual practice-contrary to United Press President Frank Bartholomew's report* on an imaginary SAC flight that the Kremlin was waving around as the basis for its propaganda onslaught-SAC planes have never reached their Fail Safe points in an emergency scramble caused by unidentifiable radar blips, let alone flown beyond Fail Safe points.

Were the University to impose a ban on all student cars, such a ruling would no doubt prove unenforceable. The parking regulations now employed are nearly as unfortunate and inconvenient for students as a total ban, and they fail to solve the problem of Harvard's relations with the residents of Cambridge. Until the city sees fit to change its own parking laws, there is no reason for the University to impose stricter ones. To enforce Cambridge's rules--and only Cambridge's rules--would satisfy both the city and the student driver...
...whatever its virtues as a piece of popular literature, Why I Am Not A Christian will probably fail in academic circles because it takes no note of the two main nineteenth-century developments in theology, which theologians have done little but elaborate ever since...
