...were ionized layers in the upper atmosphere by bouncing short-length radio waves off them, a technique that made worldwide radio communication practicable, led directly to Britain's development of radar (thus giving the R.A.F. a crucial advantage over the numerically superior Luftwaffe), and won for the pioneering scientist the 1947 Nobel Prize in physics; of a stroke; in Edinburgh...
...this hemisphere." The chief security officer has been murdered. Dr. Baxter is missing. Dr. Oster is a marked man. Worst of all, some crucial flasks have been pilfered from E Lab. Several contain enough botulinus toxin to wipe out the entire population of Los Angeles. One flask, warns Research Scientist Hoffman (Richard Basehart) is brimful of the "satan bug," a biological doomsday weapon that can launch death on a global scale. In this unpersuasive sci-fi thriller directed by John Sturges (Bad Day at Black Rock, The Great Escape), it is only a matter of time until someone gravely inquires...
...Canada, such growth presents some tough problems. "We are having to expand before we have had a chance to develop our own true excellence-our Oxford, Cambridge or Harvard," notes Canadian Social Scientist Bernard Ostry.

Finally, despite the tenets of her faith, she was persuaded to see a doctor, who insisted that she enter a hospital for further tests of an abdominal tumor...
...undergoes greater change because he, unlike the boy from City High, is less prepared by his secondary school culture to fit into the "new" Harvard--a college in which the premium value is motivated, independent learning. At the beginning of the essay, Ricks and McCarley suggest that a social scientist is one who is never afraid to admit the obvious, and doubtless they would admit the obvious difficulties in generalizing about Harvard from so small a sample, but their analysis of a central Harvard value and the pervasiveness of its attraction is nonetheless stimulating and suggestive...
