...autonomy of the Center, however, is rapidly becoming an irrelevant issue. Any defined functions or corporate feelings were swallowed by the maze of research projects that brought to the Center a swarm of associates from various disciplines. These, in turn, have scattered to four different locations. While the Fellows have moved out in the University from their enclave at the Center, the University has moved into the Center and expanded it past the bounds of simple autonomy
...cone-shaped ship consists of two sections or modules. In the top section, Command Pilot Grissom, Senior Pilot White and Pilot Chaffee occupied three cockpit couches looking up at the ship's maze of controls-gauges, dials, switches, lights and toggles. The service module below is essentially an engine room, housing fuel, the crew's oxygen, the basic electrical system, and a large rocket with 22,500 Ibs. of thrust to be used for space maneuverings, braking the ship into lunar orbit and supplying the propulsion necessary to send it back to earth. The whole capsule...
Regulatory Maze. Moreover, the law would also remove from school employ anyone guilty of "treasonable or seditious" utterances or acts.

After exploring the maze for 1,000 yds., the tunnel rats came up and turned the task over to units that pumped nausea gas through the system, then set about blasting it to dust...
...this time too often jumps the main track of the tale to lollygag along a branch line, and Director Sidney Lumet (The Group) has either miscast or misdirected some of his principals. Mason and Signoret, however, are pathetically impressive as a couple of mice wandering in a maze designed for rats. And as a whole, the film convincingly elucidates in a modern instance why Dante consigned traitors to the very pit of hell. Le Carre similarly perceives treason as a spiritual attitude underlying the political act. His traitors are liars who live out their lie. His meaning of treason...
