...past history suggests that the first possibility is a pipe dream. When Harvard was asked to divest itself of Gulf Oil stock two years ago, the University said it preferred to hold onto its shares in order to maintain influence over Gulf's actions. The University could conceivably demand that AP&L install the safeguards, but if AP&L refuses, Harvard will lose its bluff...
Here Tom lives a monastic life, baking his own bread from sprouted wheat kernels, and cultivating vegetables alongside the marijuana. His daily needs are basic and so, too, is his plumbing-an outhouse that curiously has room for five. His shower is little more than a wooden platform, pipe, and flash heater. No impulsive sort, he spent months contemplating wind, fog and sun patterns on his 2½-acre plot before breaking ground. "If you have to spend time in a house, you might as well live in an environment that expands your mind the most," he explains. In fact...
...conversation is still vivid in my mind today: He was polite, relaxed, attentive and unhostile. He nodded, reflected, took off his spectacles, put hand to chin and studied me a while, knocked out his pipe-ash on the round cork knob within the center of a pewter bowl, looked out the window with a weary sense of aging decency, pressed thumb and finger to his brow in old and practiced sense of sorrowful exhaustion.

That is all it takes to send the missile accurately along a radar beam to the target. To make matters even worse for the enemy, the frequency of the missile's radar systems can be changed quickly, making it difficult to jam or confuse them with electronic countermeasures...
...Existence"? A lot of people do, Reb suggests. Actors of the latest lifestyle, they call it being contemporary. Count Jack out: he has been somebody once, and he must be somebody again. He meets his first Scotsman, "a moody sort" who wears tweed pants and smokes a pipe. The new hoot-mon studies his archetype and buries himself in Scottish history until his eyes throb. At the end of this surreal little journal of tribal transfer, not only Jack's heart but Jack's body-packing a volume of Robbie Burns-is en route to the Highlands, preparing...
