The signals may be translated into audible sounds, traced out by pen-and-ink graph plotters and analyzed in detail by computers...
...criticize the CRIMSON. What I criticize is a world that makes it acceptable to say to a secretary- Be a sweet girl and give me a pen so I can finish writing my feature about the oppression of people in Vietnam. Farfetched? Think about it. And a world that says to women- Smile and we'll buy you a cup of coffee on our way to the real world...
