...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...

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.

He is convinced that if a man did this with every idea which crossed his mind during the day, he would have explored everything in his unconscious. He would have...
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...
