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...

...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...

Boasting that the Christian Crusade has a higher membership than the "association for the agitation of colored people," he recommended that "fiery patriots should react not by bopping them over the head, but by ignoring them...

The public would be likely to react against one canddate who was spending two or three times as much as another...
