...Rash of Shots. That competence has been dramatically demonstrated in the past five years. Of the five Mariner shots launched during that period, Van Allen noted, three were notably successful. Mariners 2 and 5 flew past Venus, returning vast quantities of information about the planet's atmosphere, temperature and thermal and magnetic properties. Mariner 4 successfully transmitted pictures of the Martian surface and continued to operate for more than three years, sending information from distances as great as 200 million miles as it went on into orbit around the sun. Yet all this was accomplished, Van Allen points...
...list lengthens with every game, and a rising chorus is beginning to suggest that the rash of injuries is more than just the breaks of the game. "Dirty players are gone," answers Tackle Henry Jordan, but his disingenuous comment suggests that the writers and fans may be right. Today's players, he says, are "so well trained they know how to hurt you scientifically." Packer Linebacker Lee Roy Caffey, himself an ankle patient, explains that money adds to their skill.

Its tolerance appears at times almost unlimited, so much so that radical reformers occasionally fulminate against administrators who refuse to fight back and who decline to create eyeball-to-eyeball confrontations...
...willingness of Mallinckrodt protestors to take rash action may demonstrate the intensity of their convictions, but at the same time it hampers the efforts of rational critics of the war who are making progress without violating the law. Disgust is the inevitable public reaction to extra-legal protest which infringes on the rights of others. And it lends cerdibility to right-wing charges against the peace movement...
