...governmental change. Beyond that the hope is that the end result will be not only a saving of money and a tinkering with the machinery of Government for its own sake, but that the streamlined machine will really be used to cope with the pressing national concerns that persist...
Anomaly. The question of a mandate will persist. Will the election of 1972 be remembered as an extravagant anomaly, an essentially reluctant landslide? McGovern, who had profoundly misread the temper of the American people, seized what is still the majority party and drove millions of Democrats, many of them unwillingly, to Nixon. But many are uneasy there as well, and it is not likely that they will find a permanent home there. Thus Nixon's mandate is indeed major, but, like all democratic mandates, conditional. He has temporarily taken the center away from the Democrats, and it remains...
...Shirley Institute in Manchester; he has been studying ways of reducing the static electricity built up by walking across carpets and other floor coverings.

Those facts were of particular interest to Greenwood, who had also done forensic research for the Home Office-which has overall...

Are the deep men as bad as Pennington made them look? With Harvard's first real test rearing up this weekend in New York City against Columbia, Restic has to find out and fast. Columbia is too good a team to foot around with Harvard if the Crimson can't cut it. Frank Navarro's boys think they...
