...certain. Perhaps to stir any debate at all over the curriculum, Robert H. Ebert, dean of the Med School, apparently felt it necessary to skirt the standing faculty Committee on Curriculum and have a totally new group draw, up the report. He asked Dr. Alexander Leaf, a member of the Curriculum Committee, last year to pull together a subcommittee. Leaf's sub-committee produced its report last Spring. Rather than risk the Curriculum Committee's toning it down, Ebert threw the proposals to the entire faculty in September. The faculty has been officially debating them at its monthly meetings since...

...Ahmad the Devil") ruled Yemen, justice was swift-and final. Enemies were decapitated and their heads carried around town on long poles. Lesser offenders lost their hands or feet. Last week General Abdullah Sallal, leader of the Egyptian-backed regime that overthrew the Ahmad dynasty in 1962, borrowed a leaf from Ahmad's book of horrors.

Despite the math problems, the Air Force is determined to develop computerized RSA, or at least a combination of human analysts and computers, as quickly as possible. In the event of a nuclear war there would be little time for human analysts to leaf through a radar signature catalog in an effort to differentiate between an incoming ICBM warhead and its decoys. Only a computer could spot the authentic warhead radar signature quickly enough to order its interception and destruction by defending missiles...
