...little we can do at this stage." The judgment is undoubtedly correct, but the seeming inability of the U.S. to influence events in Iran could have a serious impact on Washington's relations with other states in the Middle East's crescent of crisis. Ever since Mos cow moved to make Ethiopia its chief client on the Horn of Africa, the Saudis have complained about the waning of U.S. influence in the area. Says a State Department analyst: "The Saudis are taking a hard look now at their relations with Washington. They seem more worried than ever that...
Some 500 companies are locked in a desperate recruiting battle for a severely limited number of workers. The more esoteric the specialty, the keener the competition. The mere mention of the name of an MOS (metal on silicon) engineer causes executive knees to bend. In personnel offices, linear engineers and microsystems programmers are spoken of in awed whispers, as if they were deities...
Both face and soul seem as brittle and sere as the last leaf of autumn, and when he greets Anna, who has been in Mos cow, at the St. Petersburg railroad station, his only comment is: "It's good to have you home again.

Charlie's great character was a memory of that Dickensian experience, a waif in the tradition of Oliver Twist and David Copperfield. Comedy derives from the Greek kōmos, a dance.

...took a 15-month, 12,000-mile cruise and came home in 1971 with a headful of ideas about new electronic equipment for navigation. He brought his plans to Oxy Metal Industries International (O.M.I.I.), a division of Occidental Petroleum, which was looking for new applications for metal oxide semiconductors (MOS)-the tiny components that engineers use to cram extremely complex circuits onto silicon chips less than a quarter of an inch square. MOS had already proved their value in the U.S. space program for which they were developed. They also have certain qualities ideal...
