...only the ground positions that should be considered, he said; allied air and naval strength now blanket all of North Korea up to the Yalu. In view of this, the U.N. would actually be justified in demanding a cease-fire line considerably to the north of its forward positions on the ground. The Red radio exaggerated Joy's talking point, made it sound as if the U.N. formally demanded a truce line far north of the front-line positions (which it does not). According to the Peking radio, Nam rejected "any argument which boasts of. . . frenzied bombardment by naval...
...artillery barrage, the heaviest since April. Some 500 shells dropped on U.N. positions at the rate of two a minute. But the U.N. troops held. Next night there was artillery again and 200 rounds of heavy mortar fire. Under cover of the artillery, the Reds sent small infantry forces forward.

If I can't make my students see it, that's the end." The betting at Woodstock is that Murray will make them...
...more than it is with humans. After a while the memory oscillations die away; the sound of the whistle becomes ineffective again, its learned meaning forgotten. But while the memory lingers, the mechanical turtle is not a simple, well-adjusted beast. It flees from a harmless whistle, or rushes forward eagerly for food that is not there. And this is not the worst. Dr. Walter has figured out a brain with built-in makings of madness. So fitted, his creatures have two "learning circuits" instead of one; they can be trained to react in two different ways to the same...
