WHEN I CAME TO Harvard two years ago, I picked up a map of the campus from the Information Office in Holyoke Center and wandered around trying to match buildings with names on the map. When I got to the area around Memorial Hall, I noticed a big ditch about the size of a baseball diamond. "Lawrence Hall," my map told me was the name of the hole...
...rather try to run the world-an easier proposition. In foreign policy, he can deal, as a lawyer, with facts and concepts and a few powerful leaders. The masses of people are once removed, over the horizon, a mere statistic. He can go up to his Lincoln Sitting Room, map out a policy and announce it as fact by executive order; only formal treaties must be ratified by Congress...
...activities of American capitalism its $18.5 million would be hard put to avoid being implicated in--seems arbitrary at best and, given Vietnam, stupid and crude at worst. One wonders how many of them will continue this specific concern for Angola, or could even point it out on a map. As for divestiture as a demand, whatever publicity value a Harvard sell-out might have in placing the University's prestige behind the struggle of the Angolese people, would evaporate with the widespread knowledge that it was only done because students had taken over a building...
...there are systems like Omnitrac, made by Britain's Decca Navigator Co. and tested successfully on Eastern's Washington-New York-Boston shuttle. It not only gives the pilot the required altitude for his flight path but also displays his plane's position on a moving map or TV-type cathode-ray tube throughout the trip. Finally, there are more sophisticated systems like the Arma-Decca Mona system (for modular navigation) and Collins' ANS-70, which can store and read out voluminous information, including navigational data on an airline's entire route structure. These advanced...
...designed for all ages. Several, like "Cat and Mouse," are variations on the game of tag. If the cat intercepts the mouse's flight through an overlaid maze of squares, the mouse disappears from the screen. Other games are designed to be educational. In "States," for example, a map of the U.S. is attached to the screen and children are asked the name of the state illuminated by the square of light. In an electronic version of roulette, bets are placed on a separate board and a light square moves around a simulated wheel before coming to rest...
