Charles V. Hamilton impressed his audiences here with his ability to conceptualize and articulate the manifold problems and tensions imposed by the American racial dilemma. There was no doubt that Hamilton had done his homework, and he drew often from recent experience outside the classroom. He faced questions directly, often taking them beyond their obvious conclusions, and always with striking candor. To the question of what the white's role is in Black Power politics, Hamilton quickly replied: "The (Kerner) Report speaks to whites, not blacks; what happens as a result of it depends on whites. Your place...
...Manifold Malapropisms. As Republican minority leader in a period of Democratic ascendancy, Martin kept the faith-pliantly. His malapropisms were manifold and celebrated: guided missiles became "gilded muscles"; Republican programs had "headlights" instead of highlights; his friendly archrival became "the gentleman from Rayburn, Mr. Texas." Joe Martin and Democratic Speaker Sam Rayburn were synonymous with the House for two generations of Americans. Once, when Rayburn was asked to campaign against Martin in Massachusetts, the Texan responded brusquely: "Speak against Joe? Hell, if I lived up there, I'd vote...
Within Limits. The new device, now undergoing tests by the Interior Department's Bureau of Mines, is called an exhaust-manifold reactor. Developed by Du Pont over the past two years, the reactor system would replace the regular manifold unit on U.S. vehicles. It consists of two 4½-in. by 22-in. alloy-coated stainless-steel cylinders that fit over the sides of a standard V-8 engine. (Only one reactor is required for a six-cylinder model.) As high-temperature exhaust gases flow into the reactors, air is blown into them by a small pump, causing...
Just a Pump. For the surgeon who would transplant a heart, the problems are manifold and more difficult, with moral and ethical as well as medical considerations involved. Since ancient times, the heart has been apostrophized as the throne of the soul, the seat of man's noblest qualities and emotions-as it still is in poetry and love songs. But even the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano noted last week that "the heart is a physiological organ and its function is purely mechanical." In fact, the heart is nothing more than a pump. There is no more...
While this explanation is simple enough (until you throw in leap years and such), the ramifications are manifold. Foremost is the delay of the Yale weekend to Thanksgiving vacation. This situation has arisen before: the last time by the calendar was 1961, then more recently in 1963 when the assassination of President Kennedy occasioned a postponement...
