...worst of all-it fosters a cynical disrespect for national service and corrupts the aims of education." Princeton President Robert Francis Goheen argues that because draft calls are still relatively small, the system is "unnecessarily erratic in what it does to young men's lives. Great inequities occur which are not compensated for by any real social gain. We have enough educated manpower that just the pursuit of a Ph.D. in history, classics or chemistry, for example, is not important enough to justify deferment...
...caution that pervades Soviet foreign policy these days. Kosygin's trip, after all, was his first planned foray abroad since he took over as Premier 19 months ago.

But with gyrocopters you go only 20 to 30 m.p.h. on takeoff, and land at about zero to 5 m.p.h...

Transplant surgeons want organs as fresh as possible; the chance that a cadaver kidney will work well in the recipient patient is vastly increased if it can be removed immediately after circulation has stopped. But in the U.S., as in most countries, it would be illegal to remove a kidney from a patient who has not yet been pronounced dead...
