...time there was no known means of guiding such a missile successfully. There were also large problems on re-entry and on fuels. The fact that I was interested, and was encouraging such research, is illustrated by one invention I myself made on guidance, and assigned the patent rights on it to the Navy. I did not oppose development of guided missiles...
...somnolent, introverted and dour. The isolated Norwegians have a reputation for being tough, brave and simple. The Swedes, who were greatly influenced in the 19th century by Germany, are thought of as stiff, shrewd and neurotic. If a Norwegian invents something, according to one theory, a Swede will patent it, and a Dane will be in charge of promotion...
Sperry has often been edged out by the superior selling drive of IBM, which has 75% of the market, and has paid Sperry $9,000,000 since 1956 for patent infringements. Though its late-model Univac IIIs and 1004s are rated among the best computers in the field, Sperry's Univac division trails in some key areas; General Electric, for example, is well ahead in the promising "process control" computers that can run pipeline systems or steel mills.

And, most important, the stars and stripes never appear together at the same time on the same sheet, pillowcase or reversible bath towel (stars or stripes, never both, border the sheets, mix or match with towels and pillowcases in overall prints of either pattern). As a final disclaimer...
...alone, 20 bordellos stand perfumed cheek by painted jowl, while round-the-clock shifts of whores sit waxen and wooden-faced be hind show windows. Elaborately coifed transvestites in spike heels wobble lumpily along the side streets, brushing shoulders with stewbums in cowboy boots and pale-faced hoods with patent-leather hair. At the Hippodrom, on a lurid avenue appropriately named Grosse Freiheit, bored horses trot in a circle as equally bored equestriennes strip while balancing on their backs. Along the Raper, a tourist can shoot a fake duck, get a tattoo, watch an "intimate" movie in Technicolor, or cheer...
