...Although Amherst might not have enough money to hire only "great men," it certainly does have enough money to hire what is one of the best small college teaching faculties in the country. The members of the freshman and sophomore classes have the opportunity denied students at so-called "robot-controlled" universities like Harvard of meeting, knowing, and often being inspired by these men. In the last two years, all honors work must be done partially in required seminars, giving further opportunity to know intimately at least one full professor...
Lessons from a Robot. Clark went to Asia after two years as U.S. High Commissioner in Austria, where he got an on-the-scene grounding in fundamental Communist mentality and method.

Best guess was that the new stations will employ robot-controlled electronic devices. Since it is not necessary to man every station of the system, its cost should be far less than that of the more elaborate radar chain...
...where it is. Dr. Sweet gave Holly an injection of radioactive arsenic, which has an affinity for tumors. An hour later she lay on a cot with her head between two scintillation counters to which scanning mechanisms were attached. Soon, as the counters picked up the gamma rays, the robot pens showed that the arsenic had concentrated in one part of the lower forebrain. This showed that Holly did indeed have a tumor. Another scan showed that it was left of center, and (within a third of an inch) how far. The machine, which Dr. Brownell had helped to work...
...notion that man is mere animal, condemned by nature to acquire the characteristics of his environment. Khrushchev tested the theory in his agrogorods. Just as the Soviet factories had produced a "new Soviet man" (e.g., Khrushchev), so he believed that the agrogorod environment would develop a new agrarian robot divorced from the muzhik's "old village backwardness...
