...validity. Although no experimental results have contradicted the theory, they have not been precise enough to rule out opposing theories that differ in small but significant details. Now a new technique has been used to check out Einstein: interplanetary radar. Preliminary radar tests also have failed to find a flaw in general relativity, a scientist from Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Lincoln Laboratory announced last week, and radar soon should provide results accurate enough to help confirm the theory-or to seriously undermine...
THERE is another flaw in the American rationale for Vietnam. Revolutionaries obviously do play some part in making revolutions, but they have drawn from the history of the Vietnam war exactly the opposite conclusion to the one the U.S. intends for them. The facts seem clear. Even with half a million men and enormous firepower the U.S. has not been able to wrest control of the countryside from the Viet Cong. To the revolutionaries this means simply that the U.S. can be beaten. No matter what happens in the future they will not lose this conviction...
...rest of the cast--the characters with which the Author is working--share one general flaw that director Christopher Arnold could have eliminated with a firmer hand. Their readings are all uncertain, with no one quite sure just which words they should be emphasizing, which laughs they should be expecting and which pauses they should be holding. John Brady, as the police superintendent, is particularly afflicted...
...Bristol University on Tuesday, may be instructive. The sources are exclusively Greek, and they report the battle as an over-whelming victory of a small force over an enormous enemy army. The sympathies of all readers are well conditioned. The meticulous and detailed analysis of Professor Hammond uncovered a flaw in the onesided Classical presentation of the battle. The Ionian Greeks in the army of the Persians secretly informed their cousins from Athens early in the morning of the battle that the Persian cavalry had left the field, presumably for water and fodder. This was the signal for the Athenians...
Perhaps the biggest flaw in the idea of boycotting the Olympics is the assumption that there are enough white people in this country who care about the Olympics to warrant the protest. Sports may be one of the few areas in America where blacks have status, but can amateur athletic status be transformed into political leverage? I doubt it. Perhaps if pro stars like Bill Russell or Willie Mays were to refuse to compete in their sports until some particular bit of civil rights progress had been made and their white teammates joined them, then there might be a burst...
