...rather than by asking." Sometimes, when he asked, the source was decidedly suspicious: "Try to tell a tableful of pretty girls in a busy dating bar that you're from TIME and want to buy them a drink and talk to them for a while. One well-made, micro-skirted blonde gave us the fish eye. 'TIME mag azine, huh? Well, that's a new one.'" On the other hand, an encounter with a cooperative source could also have its frustrations: "Working for TIME exercises a certain restraint on being a swinging single. You might meet...
Long-range studies of earth disturbances are planned in the U.S., Japan and Russia. Geophysicists will place ultrasensitive instruments deep in the earth. In such studies, tiltmeters will measure shifts in the position of vast subsurface areas, and, ideally, laser devices will be able to measure micro scopic expansion and contraction of bedrock, while strain seismographs monitor the kind of subsurface stress and crust slippage that occurs in fault zones...
Stubby Arms. Finally, during a 1963 visit to Germany, Turner mentioned his idea to Physicist Hans Meinke, a micro wave expert whose research is partially financed by the U.S. Air Force. Meinke immediately grasped Turner's concept, volunteered to work on it, and was awarded an Air Force contract. Now, after four years of mathematical analysis and laboratory work, he has finally built several prototype models of the mini-antennas that Turner visualized. The simplest of Meinke's devices, which the Air Force calls Subminiature Integrated Antennas (SIA), consists of three stubby, pencil-sized arms, each at tached...
...readings. If the assumptions of the perfectly competitive market such as perfect information and so forth do not hold, how do we compensate for this, and what is the second best alternative to the ideal competitive market. It is by no means certain that it is micro-economic laissez-faire...

The other major casualty was a three week section on "alternavties to capitalism" that used to come during reading period, right after the course had developed micro-economic theory and applied it to American capitalism. (It was the critique's final and most specific charge that socialism receives only "confusing attention...
