In recognition of his many exemplary deeds as a pioneer in advanced aeronautic research, I am making a request which seeks to express, in a small measure, the gratitude of the nation. I request that you consider the merits of his young son [19-month-old Iven C. Kincheloe III] for appointment as a cadet in the U.S.A.F. Academy at Colorado Springs, Colo...

The consequent behavior proves to be predictable over long stretches of time...
...real asset of teaching machines, of course, and very likely the reason so much money is being spent now on their research and development, is the terrific dearth of teachers in this country. If teaching machines could be run off assembly lines as just another gadget and someday became as common as television sets, the few teachers there are could be liberated from the more ponderous tasks of mechanical instruction they now have to perform, and the dilemma of the teacher shortage could be substantially diminished, if not wiped out entirely...
