...open door on the second-floor psychiatric ward of this old (1908) building does not mean freedom to walk in and out at will-any more than a patient in the adjoining medical or surgical wards can do so. But nobody is restricted because of mental illness alone: he must show definite signs of disturbance. When he does, the patients (at daily meetings) are usually the first to complain of it, vote to restrict him "behind the clock" (on the boundary wall between ward and corridor).

...establish a widespread network of magnetometers, enlisted the help of Sweden, Iceland and Portugal. At each site, a huge antenna was laid out by running a single wire along the ground in a loop 50 miles in diameter.

...will have to close down in the next two years." Germans complain of the "foreign menace" to their livelihood, while Italian shopkeepers lobby insistently to prevent local city governments from granting licenses to the new stores. But the trend is all to the supermarkets. When a big new market opened in Milan recently, the strong Communist element there attacked it as an imperialist plot, until they discovered that workers were swamping the store at the rate of 23,000 customers a week.
