...does not allow the President to change the order of induction throughout the range of eligible age groups. It restricts him to "providing for the selection or induction of persons by age group." And within the age group chosen, he cannot "effect any change in the method of determining relative order of induction." He must take the oldest first within a certain age group. This means that the President cannot simply order Selective Service to start drafting 19-year-olds first and then the 20- and 21-year-olds later. He must designate one age group -- such as 19-year...
...Business School and the Graduate School of Design will offer their first joint course next semester--a three-term seminar on urban analysis, using the case-study method...
...seminar will use the case-study method--analyzing a number of separate urban planning problems in depth. The group will then consider the relevance of the sample problem and its solution to other problems of the same type. The case-study is the usual method of instruction at the Business and Law Schools, but this is the first time that it will be used in urban planning studies...
Pilkington, sole survivor of the 24 glassworks that thrived in Britain in the 19th century and then died because of competition, made its first major contribution to the industry in 1935 by developing a grinder that smoothed both sides of the glass simultaneously - until recently the common method for finishing flat glass. But grinding scoured off 20% of the finished glass, and something better was needed. In 1959, after seven years and $20 million worth of research, Pilkington announced a float process for making sheet and plate glass that revolutionized the industry. In it, glass forms while floating...
...make tinted glass by the same float process with considerable savings in time and capital expense. Up to now, when glassmakers wanted to produce tints-even with a float process-they either had to shut down and convert regular lines or else build an additional plant. Under the new method, which cost $2.8 million to research and perfect, machines bombard the molten glass with microscopic metallic particles as it passes across the tin bath. With an investment of only $36,000, glassmakers can add the tinting process to a regular plant, color as much as desired bt the continuous ribbon...
