When Bennett arrived, all federal prisoners were being tossed combustibly together, murderers and rapists with income tax evaders and car thieves, and lock-stepped to meals that were eaten from a tin plate under a guard's glare. Bennett's monument is "individualized" treatment that separates prisoners by degrees of dangerousness and redeemability. The vast majority are given only as much restraint as they require. Today, more than 40% of federal prisoners are in prisons virtually without walls-working outside at everything from roadbuilding to reforestation...
...night glowed eerily with the nightmarish glare of air-dropped flares and boats' searchlights. For 3½ hours, the small boats attacked in pass after pass. Ten enemy torpedoes sizzled through the water. Each time the skippers, tracking the fish by radar, maneuvered to evade them. Gunfire and gun smells and shouts stung the air. Two of the enemy boats went down. Then, at 1:30 a.m., the remaining PTs ended the fight, roared off through the black night to the north...
...instruction per week with a graduate student in Professor Loft's department, as well as a two-hour classroom session. The first classroom session was devoted to tests of visual acuity, including distance judgment, reaction time, ability to distinguish colors, see in the dark and recover from headlight glare. The remaining classroom sessions included handling the buttons and levers, everyday driving maneuvers, good practices in traffic, on freeways and under bad conditions.

BEAR WITH us. With that, work lights burst into brilliant glare, diesel compressors roar into life, air hammers rip into the pavement, and dust begins to rise. Comes the dawn. Trucks rumble up loaded with thick lengths of timber. Racing against the clock, the workmen literally pave the torn-up street with the square logs-just in time to let the morning torrent of traffic flood through. Can Tokyo possibly finish the building job by October? There have been doubters. Workmen are still scrambling all over the swooping, tent-shaped roof of the vast Olympic swimming pool and the upward...
...Manhattan's Madison Square Garden when Barry moved in. A brass band blared away, multicolored balloons cascaded down from the rafters, and 100 "Goldwater Girls" pranced along the aisles, handing out literature to 18,000 partisans as they filed to their seats. When Barry appeared in the glare of spotlights, looking tanned and rested after a four-day golfing holiday in West Virginia, the roof went up. During his 45-minute speech, his fans interrupted him no fewer than 104 times to whistle, stomp and cheer. What Goldwater gave them was standard stuff, but he delivered it with more...
