Last week Tito pumped up some counterpressure by having the Yugoslav army stage the greatest maneuvers it had ever held. Tanks, with such slogans as "We Are Ready to Defend Our Country!" and "Tito Is Ours," rolled past the well-fed dictator in the Sumadija, a hilly area of Serbia. Belgrade papers printed an officially inspired opinion that the army had shown "exceptional readiness...
Watchful Brain. Karsch's simple safety screen has worked well, but recently he got a better gadget: an "Impact Predictor," which can tell in advance just where each rocket will hit. Two observers track the rocket with telescopes. The information from the stations is fed automatically into an electronic brain (analogue computer) which can solve complicated equations almost instantaneously...
Never Mind Your Manners. Almost as extreme as his bitterness against the Freudians is Salter's veneration of Ivan Petrovich Pavlov, the physiologist who coined the term "conditioned reflex." (Pavlov's classic example: a dog which has heard a bell ring whenever it was fed will eventually drool whenever it hears the bell, even though no food is offered.)

...Tricky U.C.L.A. invaded Big Ten country to whip corn-fed Iowa (41-25) after cries of "Espionage" and countercries of "Nonsense." The Iowa campus was in a storm over a report (pooh-poohed by U.C.L.A.) that a student and former Hawkeye center had telephoned vital Iowa football secrets to U.C.L.A.'s new and talented coach, Red Sanders. The loudest roar in the storm was the voice of Iowa's President Virgil Hancher: "A breach of canons . . . moral turpitude . . . Such a student would not be justified in receiving a degree from this university...
