Keenly aware of the urgent need for better coding techniques, the National Bureau of Standards recently approved its own IBM-designed standard encoding system. It uses more traditional coding techniques rather than the dual-key Stanford system, and could be used to encipher nonclassified electronic data, like the flow of Federal Reserve funds. In fact, appropriately programmed "chips," or microcircuits, could be built directly into computers so that all messages would be automatically encoded and decoded at the terminals. Still, the Government clearly does not want to go too far. Only recently the National Security Agency...
...plaint. To do so risks biting the hand that feeds. The U.S. cattleman is the descendant of the romantic cowboy, and for the most part he preserves those storied virtues of ruggedness, independence and dawn-to-dark hard work. But he is also a modern businessman, worried about cash flow and capital costs and, of course, interest rates. Says a typical cattle raiser in Oregon: "My family has been in this business for three generations, and we haven't been out of debt for one year...
...Second in 1973. Kaufman is a believer in the "British tradition of orality." Because he and his colleagues favor "eyeball situations between attorneys and judges." the Second allows oral argument in more than 90% of its cases (vs. an average of 70% in the other circuits).

...famine in China. Europe rising from its ruins. The carnival of that most American of spectacles, a presidential campaign. Eyewitness to all these events, and more, Theodore H. White has produced a steady flow of distinguished reportage for four decades: stirring dispatches for TIME and LIFE magazines from Asia in convulsion; a bestselling book on the civil war that eventually brought Communism to Peking, Thunder out of China (1946); another on Western Europe's phoenix-like recovery from the devastation of World War II, Fire in the Ashes (1953); and then, after his return to a changed and changing...
Back in the U.S. after 15 nomadic years, White watched the growing flow of power to Washington that Ike had condemned but could not, even as President, manage to stem. Not until the campaign for the 1960 presidential election was under way did White begin work on the series of books that was to bring him his greatest renown. The morning after Election Day, White waited in suspense at the Hyannis Armory on Cape Cod to see whether Illinois would give John F. Kennedy or Richard M. Nixon the title role in The Making of the President...
