Since August, the paper's writing and editing have been carried out on a modified version of the A.P.-Hendrix CRT. Gone from the newsroom is the clattering of typewriters. The loudest sounds now are the occasional howls from reporters still baffled by their futuristic machines. A CRT has 47 more keys than the standard typewriter, such as ETX (end of text). Thus the possibilities for fumble-fingered writing errors have multiplied. One of those keys, the "kill" button, even whisks the story off the screen and erases it from computer memory. (The News has nine new computers, capable...
...participants have not been given a cent. Because of nonpayment of rent, the Samuel Goldwyn studios locked up the Hollywood offices, impounded the furniture and filed suit against America on the Move. Thelma Gray's firm, T.

But essentially the U.S. and the U.S.S.R., the two powers that got the warring sides to stop shooting and start talking, will exert the strongest pressure, even if they do not speak in the loudest voice...
...center's assistant director, A.J. Meyer, also concedes Harvard's relatively Arabless state and notes that "all our students have the impression that some kind of plot is working against their point of view." The loudest complaints are about the lack of courses in modern, colloquial Arabic, contemporary politics and economics. At the University of Michigan center, less than a dozen of 180 courses touch on contemporary conditions in any way. According to Maan Z. Medina, a Syrian professor of Arabic studies at Columbia, "there is no single study of Arab nationalism here. Arabic literature as such, especially...
