...Born in Berlin 51 years ago, Tichauer indulged a youthful interest in anatomical engineering by watching brewery horses pull their heavy load up the city's slopes. The lithe movements of the big cats, pacing their cages at Berlin's Tiergarten, riveted his attention for hours on end. Studying the exhibit on paleolithic man at the Museum fur Völkerkunde, he pondered the relationship between that brawny prehistoric arm and the stone ax it brandished at onlookers. After earning degrees in science and mechanical engineering, Tichauer decided to investigate for himself...
Wherever feasible, he would abolish the trigger pull on tools ("The index finger tires easily, and is not well suited for pulling a trigger all day") to give more work to the thumb, the most powerful digit...
Harvard was still not going to tell the country to end the war. Harvard would not pour its money into Roxbury or pull its money out of military-supply industries. Calkins was not going to invite a few of his student friends to sit with him on the Corporation...
Eventually, the Paris negotiations must include Cambodia and Laos on their agenda. A settlement strictly confined to South Viet Nam would not necessarily ensure complete North Vietnamese withdrawal to the North: conceivably Hanoi's forces could simply pull back into their old sanctuaries in Cambodia and Laos, there to wait for another chance to invade after U.S. troops had withdrawn. That would be anathema to Sihanouk and Souvanna Phouma, as well as to the U.S. In effect, it would mean no settlement...
Stubborn Search. Van de Kamp and his assistants found the Barnard plan ets by using a classical astronomical technique: searching for irregularities in the path of a celestial body, a wobble that might be caused by the gravitational pull of a dark, unseen companion. As early as 1844, for example, astronomers concluded from wobbles in the path of Sirius that the bright star was accompanied through space by a star too faint to be seen from earth. The same technique has been used to establish that several other apparently single stars are actually members of a binary sys tem; they...
