...show the real flaws in Ford's approach." Added Berkeley Political Scientist Nelson Polsby of Carter: "When faced with a problem, he offers you a nostrum, waves it over the diseased limb and then goes away." But Carter had his defenders among the professionals. Said Harvard Government Professor Samuel Huntington: "Carter did show spark and spontaneity, and he did a good job stating the general themes [of his approach to foreign policy], which is about all you can do given the debate format...
...laboratory and the origination of the electronic battlefield by Professors Kaysen and Kistiakowsky. Many students are familiar with this sort of involvement of natural scientists in war research, but fewer realize that the same kind of complicity exists in the social sciences. An outstanding example of the latter is Samuel P. Huntington, who justified the practice of "forced-draft urbanization" in Vietnam. In the July 1968 issue of Foreign Affairs, Huntington explained that the National Liberation Front held the "good Maoist expectation that by winning the support of the rural population it could eventually isolate and overwhelm the cities...
...theatrical history. Devised by Britain's man-about-the-theater Kenneth Tynan, it sought unabashedly to tap the voyeur market - or rather, that part of it unwilling to get its jollies in a topless go-go bar.

So complete is the illusion that one cannot guess, without taking the lid off the box, that these stable objects- the chair, the dog, the tile floor - that seem to have the clearness and density of the real world are painted flat, a jumble of skewed angles involuntarily assembled...
...Mayor Samuel McCabe Hairston, 49, stopped in at Woodfin's Pharmacy first thing on this rainy day, for everyone he needed to see would be there. The entire business community drops in at Woodfin's for coffee at 9 o'clock each morning, after picking up the mail at the post office, to discuss the current drought and other local problems. Said an attorney in the crowd: "We are a very small town and we want to keep it that way. Everybody knows everybody else -Morning, Bruce-and the chances are that you are related to them...
