Inevitably such experiences must come home. Laird Guttersen's blood pressure was so low after three months of torture, complicated by pneumonia, that parts of him lost all feeling when he remained still more than ten minutes. At night, instead of sleeping he used to lie in a feverish trance, shifting to stay alive, timing himself by the half-hour chimes of a distant clock. "When Laird came home we couldn't sleep in the same bed at first," remembers his wife Virginia, a frail, dark-blue-eyed wife who waited. "He shifted a quarter turn every five...
...also involves conflicting ideas of how the Government should help the sugar industry meet foreign competition. The Administration favors direct subsidies; this would keep down prices to housewives and big consumers (including Coca-Cola, which is headed by Carter's old friend J. Paul Austin). But subsidizing low-priced sugar reduces demand for corn fructose. Congress favors sugar import duties and quotas, which would raise prices and help producers of both sugar and corn sweeteners...
...welcomed enthusiastically in Cairo." Ma'ariv, the afternoon daily, was equally foreboding. "It may be possible to gain a few weeks' breathing space," said the paper. "But it will not be possible to ease American pressure or improve relations with Washington, which are at a distressingly low level." On the same theme, Post Columnist Meir Mer-hav predicted: "There will be a gradual disengagement, not between us and the Arabs, but between the U.S. and Israel. Formerly open doors will become closed, listening ears will turn deaf, and warm sympathy will become icy scrutiny...
...product-in other words, extract the original two prime numbers that are the source of the decoding key. But even in the computer age, factoring, which can involve trying out seemingly endless combinations of numbers, is an extremely time-consuming process. While it may be easy to factor a low number like 323, Rivest calculates that if the product were, say, 200 digits long, it would take even the fastest and most powerful computers millions of centuries to factor it. Unless some mathematical whiz devised a new high-speed factoring technique, the code would, in effect, be uncrackable...
...summer; it's an arrangement that will surely be very profitable for the Pudding, but maybe not so profitable for the Pudding, but maybe not so profitable for the ensemble, which drew only 25 or 30 hardy souls to a recent performance of its current selection. The low attendance is a shame, because even if the play--Frank Gilroy's Pulitzer Prize-winning The Subject Was Roses -- is pretty poor, it's still the best piece of theater to cross the Pudding stage in many a year. And only the women wear bras...
