...siecle approach to a story about a Harvard man. Roger Norris, alias the "Count," is a suave, charming n'er-do-well who drops Wilde-like epigrams on every possible occasion. He is lightly cynical about everything, except for one brief time when he meets a "good," serious and proper girl. She, however, rejects his suit, because the Count is not a very good security risk. The Count does not let this overly effect him, and returns to his flippant outlook. The most annoying thing about the book is the obvious and exuberant delight which the author takes in portraying...
...nothing intrinsically complicated about the Processing; it merely, involves learning to use all thirty senses that Nature provided for man's benefit. The backward souls who rely only on the basic five can never free themselves from anxieties, nervous tensions, aberrations, and illness. Because they have not achieved a proper balance between the Mind, Body, and Self, they remain ignorant of "the most powerful invisible force humanity has ever known as a material workable procedure.

Accompanist Vladimir Yam-polsky thinks it is "an extra quality that none of the others has," and specifies Oistrakh's uncanny ability to throw himself into the proper mood the instant he begins to play...
Riding the way he wanted to, pretty much, little (5 ft. 4 in., no lbs.) Willie moved up to the big time permanently in the spring of 1954. His rough and ready tactics have already earned him seven suspensions. But Willie is fast learning a proper respect for the film patrol. He claims he can remember the racing characteristics of every horse he has ever ridden (some 1,500 mounts this year alone) and that he knows the tricks of every horse that ever finished a race in front of him. Armed with this knowledge, he is a sharp operator...
...waves do scatter, and special apparatus has been developed for the armed services to take advantage of the scattering. Some of the equipment is spectacular (see cut). Extra-powerful transmitters must be used, and two large receiving antennas placed well apart give better results than one. With the proper setup VHF has been transmitted dependably more than 1,000 miles. UHF, the wave band suitable for TV, is good for 300 miles...
