...Great Ideas-a Syntopicon) the history of Western thought (to be found in the Hutchins-and Adler-edited Great Books of the Western World), to reduce man's search for wisdom to 102 basic ideas. For the last six years, as director of the Institute for Philosophical Research in San Francisco, Generalizer Adler has continued to specialize in reductions, seeking to shrink the unlimited seas of ideas into a fathomable pool of definitions. Now, in the first of two fat volumes, Adler offers the beginning of an exhaustive dissection of one of the basic 102: The Idea of Freedom...

There last week five grain specialists, with their assistants, painstakingly harvested and examined 30,000 different wheat strains from Canada, Russia, the U.S., Germany, Brazil, Britain, Chile, Mexico, India, while other workers planted experimental fields containing thousands more for harvest and research next year. Some day soon the scientists of Tibaitata Experiment Station hope to find the strains that best combine yield, taste, nutritional quality, disease and insect resistance. When they do, one of a dozen programs to help Colombian agriculture will have paid...
...magnetrons, i.e., vacuum tubes that emit radar impulses. During the next 15 months, Litton used stock and cash to pick up half a dozen little-known firms making computers, printed circuits, servomechanisms, communications and navigation equipment. When Litton bought Digital Controls Systems Inc. in 1954, it also got brilliant Research Scientist George Steele; Steele heads Litton's work on lightweight computers that make up to 15,000 calculations per second for a plane in flight. Litton also lured other top brains away from big companies by granting stock options. Dr. Henry Singleton left North American Aviation for Litton, where...
