...MATTER WHAT you do, pretty girls will always be more enticing than dressed-up Hasty Puddings. Curtis E. Von Kann, director of this year's Law School Show, has put together a fast-paced farce out of a solid book and a huge but wonderful cast. The Spider People, a saga of law students in "the seamless web" of the law, is intelligible to people who know nothing about law, but stays very close to home--at Harvard Law School...
...nuclear race has spawned an arcane jargon of its own, one that proliferates as fast as the gadgetry that it describes. A thesaurus of key terms...
...helix" that paved the way for the new science of molecular biology and won them the Nobel Prize. For all the work that has been done in the field since Watson and Crick made their pioneering studies in 1953, no one had been able to display any hard and fast visual evidence to confirm the spiral structure of DNA. Now that evidence is in. A young California scientist reported to a Los Angeles meeting of the Biophysical Society last month that he had succeeded in photographing a DNA molecule...
Even the board's apologists admit that, since about 1965, it has repeatedly overreacted to political considerations. It is widely agreed that the board let the money supply shoot up much too fast late in 1965, contract too sharply in mid-1966 and then rise too rapidly in 1967 and 1968.

Many passengers will probably be eager to hop aboard just to get there faster. But lines flying Concordes will have to charge a premium, perhaps 20% above regular jet fares, or make sure that each plane is more than 60% full. By contrast, existing jets can break even at 50% of capacity...
