Toys & Toothbrushes. Though the first promising fluidic circuits were developed only seven years ago, at what is now the Army's Harry Diamond Laboratories in Washington, scientists are fast catching up with electronic technology. They have already produced fluidic oscillators, memory and logic circuits, and have devised fluid versions of resistors and capacitors. They have also learned to etch fluid channels into small blocks of metal and plastic, producing fluidic versions of electronic integrated circuits [TIME, Sept. 2]. Though they are still no match in size for the microscopically small electronic I.C.s, several compact fluidic circuits...
...police frame Lee Harvey Oswald for John Kennedy's assassination. In publications from Esquire to Commentary, college professors, journalists, novelists and would-be hawkshaws are fairly stepping on each other's lines to find new ways to challenge the Warren Commission's conclusions, investigatory technique, language, logic, legal methodology and moral intent...
...Though Robert and Ted Kennedy fought hard for the home-town airline, Boyd stood his ground and Northeast lost its bid for the Florida run (CAB reversed itself after Boyd's departure and granted permanent certification). "I've never been persuaded yet," Boyd once said, "by the logic of being pushed around...
Granted that the demonstration was not well-organized and failed to present its case clearly, nevertheless its logic remains valid. The unexpected confrontation with McNamara and the resulting confusion over a "debate" sidetracked the basic rationale for the demonstration: to confront McNamara as a symbol of a war in which people are killed. The question of "mob" action raised by the Administration and McNamara has little relevance in comparison with the scale of violence that this man represents...
Though restrained and formal during the taped WHRB interview, McNamara was relaxed and engaging in conversation afterward. His responses were concise, tightly reasoned point-by-point capsule analyses. But his passion for exhausting the possibility of every idea sometimes carried his logic further than he meant to go on the record. And at these points, one of his aides would remind the secretary that if he let the remark stand he would be quoted in such a way on this or that issue; and the secretary would regretfully take it off the record. After one of these reminders, McNamara grinned...
