...Long & the Short. The I.A.C.P. found the Baltimore force wanting in almost every particular, from organization and administration to the manners of meter maids (surly) and the size of billy clubs (too long). Administration was so poor, the study said, that the night shift, which had a 40% heavier work load than the day shift, actually had 17% fewer men. The force is so slothful that an aggrieved Baltimorean cannot even be sure that his complaint will be recorded, much less acted on. Investigation is so lax that at least four times in the past year police have attributed deaths...
...called up during an emergency; besides, many National Guard and most Reserve units already have full quotas. Then there is the Peace Corps, but that only delays the inevitable, since a man is immediately subject to the draft once he returns home. The new draft pressure has produced heavier-than-usual applications for R.O.T.C. and officer training, which usually require a longer time in service but at least give a man officer status...
...history, but it was not the same as the racial and class madness that drowned Hitler's Germany and Stalin's Russia in the blood of victims who outnumbered Torquemada's by more than 1,000 to one. Another ex-Communist did rather better. Using the heavier stones of current history, Arthur Koestler built Darkness at Noon into something more than an adult horror comic; he made his book a classic defense against the ogres of absolutism who think that their political faith gives them power over the minds and bodies of other men. Koestler brought...
Enter FB-III. McNamara also announced that he would order 210 FB-111 bombers, a heavier version of the F-lll (the celebrated TFX) tactical attack craft now on order by the Air Force and Navy. The Air Force, arguing that flexibility requires a permanent "mix" of missiles and ultramodern bombers, would prefer a three-or four-man craft equipped with exotic "penetration aids" to get it past enemy radar and missile defenses. Its ideal plane would have a range at least equal to the most advanced B-52s-nearly 10,000 miles fully loaded. What the Air Force...
Neither Low nor anyone else can say for certain how Jupiter manufactures its heat. Its internal pressures are not large enough to cause the thermonuclear reactions that occur in a true star. And because less than 1% of Jupiter's mass consists of the heavier elements that are the source of the radioactive isotopes believed to heat the earth's core, radioactivity can contribute only a small fraction of the heat that is apparently generated in the interior...
