...film's second, longer half deals with professional-level competition in the Mr. Olympics contest. The film makers have found an ideal protagonist and set him against a dramatically perfect antagonist. In the former role they have, as the contest announcer endlessly calls him, "the one and only" Arnold Schwarzenegger, 29, an Austrian-born U.S. citizen, six times winner of this title and anxious to retire on the seventh victory. A cool, shrewd and boyish charmer, he exudes the easy confidence of a man who has always known he will be a star of some kind (and who could...
...great majority of economists," writes Schumacher, "are still pursuing the absurd ideal of making their 'science' as scientific and precise as physics, as if there were no qualitative difference between mindless atoms and men made in the image of God." Through the economist's theoretical lens, we are all merely so many atoms, with greed as our organizing principle instead of electronegativity. Questions of what is good for us may therefore be put safely aside. The physicist does not worry about what is good for the atoms; neither should the task of the economist be to determine what's good...
...creation of more uniformity within the Housing system," which the task force also recommends (1.4-8). In support of this last, each new Housing proposal deals with the freshmen as a whole, rather than retaining the current system at the Quad. The report termed four class Houses "the ideal but least feasible alternative" (1.4-8a), and keeping our freshmen scarcely requires "construction and rearrangement of the campus." Why is it that uniformity outweighs all other factors? Would the Yard freshmen complain about missing "the mix of classes (which) would be very positive" (1.4-8s)? Perhaps the fear...
...ideal but least feasible alternative would be the creation of four-year Houses. Although the mix of classes would be very positive, the construction and rearrangement of the campus which would be required was considered an impossible undertaking for FAS at this time...
...high-energy neutrons produced by its linear accelerator. Directed against certain tumors, the neutrons can be more effective than the X rays normally used in cancer therapy. Their advantage lies in the combination of their mass (they are heavy by subatomic standards) and high energy, which makes them ideal "cue balls" in a kind of atomic billiard game: penetrating deep into large tumors, they knock protons and other particles out of the atoms of the cancerous cells. That creates general biochemical havoc, breaking DNA strands and hampering cell reproduction-thus killing the malignancy...
