...remain. The dread alternative of surrender or suicide will even be compounded by the risk of a series of 'small' defeats, none of which seems 'worth' an all-our war.... In the approaching period of mutual invulnerability, the United States cannot impose on itself the burden of having to respond to every challenge with the threat of self-destruction...
...size of the College first came up in 1954-55 when educators began to discern the impact that booming population might have on the colleges. Many Harvard men were troubled about the higher institutions' lack of preparation for the flood of applications. They felt that Harvard had to respond strongly to the danger, so alerting the rest of the country to it and at the same time handling a small part of it. If we raise the numbers admitted here, they said, we make our contribution. And so it followed that the President spoke of bringing the number of College...
...Regrettable incident," the Quai d'Orsai conceded. But why had the Ilyushin failed to respond to radio and visual urgings to get back on proper course?

There the embattled French, trying to prevent infiltration of arms and men to the Algerian rebels, insist on the reserve right to control air and sea traffic. Furthermore, said the French, custom had been violated by the Russians' failure...
...imprinting of a code on RNA molecules in millions of cells, like punch holes in a set of IBM cards. For example, an impulse caused by the ear's hearing "concert A" scurries from cell to cell until it finds those containing RNA molecules already keyed to respond to that note, and it is this chemical response that constitutes recognition of the note. The average human brain has ten billion neurons, so the number of possible permutations is astronomical. Further, said Dr. Hyden, this theory explains why neurologists have been unable to find precise centers in the brain...

Felled early last fall by a severe staphylococcus infection of the jaw, Winchell, 63, dropped out of a half-hour TV news program in mid-October; the following month, faced with the threat of surgery when the infection did not respond well to antibiotic treatment, he stopped writing his column as well. Since then, his only work has been narrating The Untouchables, a cops-and-robbers TV show in which he is an off-screen voice, reading a prepared script...
