...Binet's original; it takes as long as 1½ hrs., is administered to students individually, and results in a single IQ score. The Wechsler test, also given individually, reports an IQ score for both its verbal and nonverbal sections, as well as an overall figure.

The words of a famous Lennon love song about the need to make up after a spat: "Try to see it my way, only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong," also get a resonance from war, in this case some slow newsreel footage of a U.S. warplane being wheeled toward the flight...
