However, although our government makes no attempt to indoctrinate foreigners who study in America, they have severe, if different, problems. Students from abroad are often so ignored and isolated in the United States that they react quite bitterly to their stay. Harvard offers many examples of this reaction...
Filled out to a 6-ft. 2-in. mountain of fat and muscle, Taiho has only one apparent weakness-a slight slowness to react to a slapping, windmill attack. But he is so strong that he can usually outmuscle ! his opponents. "If he stays in shape and 'doesn't let fame go to his head." says a rival wrestler, "Taiho can be the greatest sumo champion of all time...
...second lieutenants (17,500 needed this year). The Army goes along with the Air Force two-year plan, but in its own way. It will probably cut weekly classes to four hours rather than three, and not offer scholarships unless recruits fail to appear. How Congress will react to all this is anyone's guess. But no one doubts that a cheaper, more efficient R.O.T.C. must be devised...
Obviously, there is no question about whether we would react swiftly and massively to a nuclear strike or a major ground attack on Western Europe. But there is a question of whether we would always agree with the French about what constitutes a threat to France. We wouldn't and we shouldn't and we can't. Suppose we had been compelled to get NATO's agreement before imposing the quarantine on Cuba. This is the sort of thing that--in reverse--gives De Gaulle nightmares...
...radiation was the guilty party, Bell engineers hooked up a command decoder just like Telstar's and exposed it to gamma rays in a shielded chamber. It went out of action quickly, and the engineers traced the trouble to a single transistor called the "zero gate" designed to react to short pulses-coded zeros-in command signals. With the zero-counting transistor blocked by ions, the decoder could receive no zeros, and a binary code, which consists only of zeros and ones, is meaningless if deprived of half its vocabulary...
