Southern Cog. At week's end, Scott had at least 16 of the 22 votes he needed for victory. With a strong record in favor of civil rights, the Pennsylvanian attracted virtually all of the liberal faction-New York's Jacob Javits and Charles Goodell, Kentucky's John Sherman Cooper, Oregon's Mark Hatfield, Illinois' Charles Percy, Massachusetts' Edward Brooke, and others. Yet Scott's record has not been so liberal as to make him completely unacceptable to conservatives. He passed the Administration's loyalty test, for example, by voting...
...Division. The U.S. Commander in Viet Nam, General Creighton Abrams, calls the 1st the equal of any American division in the country. In line with its slogan, "More sweat in training, less blood in combat," it gives each trooper an extra five weeks of special training, and its combat record is excellent. Though it is twice the size of most other ARVN divisions, with its six regiments, the 1st may well have to be spread too thin across the 37 miles of vulnerable frontier...
...sentimentalism. For example, it dispels the myriad rumors about the fate of Stalin's infamous secret police chief, Lavrenty Beria. One persistent story has it that he was shot or strangled by his colleagues at a meeting of the Politburo right after Stalin's death. Setting the record straight, Svetlana repeats that General A. A. Vishnevsky, chief surgeon of the Soviet Army, told her that Beria was summarily tried in 1953, held for a few days in the basement of the General Staff building in Moscow and shot there ten minutes after being sentenced...
...again! The hi-fi industry, which periodically brings out new devices to make music listeners dissatisfied, is about to unwrap another surprise. After spending twelve years convincing the record-buying public that two ears are better than one, high-fidelity manufacturers have now embarked on a drive to prove that four ears are twice as good-at least. Their excuse: quadrisonic sound, pioneered by Acoustic Research, a leading maker of hi-fi equipment. Audio enthusiasts have been jamming themselves into demonstration rooms in New York's Grand Central Station to hear the astonishingly lifelike effect created by four amplifiers...
Four-channel sound, soon to be available only on prerecorded tape (and only from Vanguard Records) has rich though agonizing implications for the record industry. For years, enthusiasts have predicted that tape would replace records, pointing out that it wears longer and is almost impossible to scratch. Its major flaw-tape hiss-has finally been alleviated with the improvement of tape materials. The cartridge and cassette business is booming. Some seers now predict that the wonders of quadrisonic sound will provide a final push for tape against disks...
