...Editor in Chief Hedley Donovan Teng used his U.S. trip to bait the Russian "polar bear" and to escalate the war of nerves over the conflict in Indochina Teng's visit left the impression that once again the Administration was not controlling events, even on its own home ground. The U.S.-China relationship, and the question of who is using whom, may be further complicated by Peking's weekend "attack of self-defense" against Viet...
...minutes to 12 you say, 'I give up, I'll give you the demand--tell me what you want me to do.' I couldn't tell you, because a QWL program isn't conducive to that kind of collective bargaining process. It has to be built from the ground up, based upon people putting their minds together to do it. QWL programs, joint co-operative programs resulting from hard bargaining, and the adversarial relationship that normally grew between parties in the collective bargaining relationship are following simultaneous paths and I don't see any contradiction. This is what...
Meanwhile, Einstein's restless mind had turned from special relativity's uniform motion to the greater complexities of accelerated movements. These are motions involving changes in velocity: as when the earth's gravity draws an object toward the ground, the object's velocity increases by 9.8 meters (32 ft.) per second each second. Einstein took an approach entirely different from Newton. The 17th century master had noted what seemed to be a remarkable coincidence: gravity acted in the same way on all bodies, regardless of their mass. That could be shown by an apocryphal experiment of Galileo's in which...
Even for a 14-hour miniseries, Roots 11 covers a huge amount of ground. Ha ley's family members witness the rise of the Jim Crow South and the Ku Klux Klan, both World Wars, the race riots of the Wilson era and the hard times of the Depression. They endure the outright segregation of the Old South and the de facto segregation of the modern North. They contend with racist military officers, hypocritical white liberals, and Uncle Tom blacks. They wrestle with the political and sociological imperatives of such thinkers as Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. DuBois and Malcolm...
...Haley's life as it has obliterated it, giving him a new and often uncomfortable persona as if he were seeing himself in a strange, distorting mirror. "It's like a kaleidoscope, a whirlpool into which I've fallen," he says. "My feet are suspended above ground and I can't get a perch...
