...Haven's tug Transfer 21 set out from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn for Greenville on the Jersey shore. Her pilothouse windows were hung with heavy grey curtains, more opaque than any fog. This low visibility did not bother the captain. By glancing at the radar's 12-in. "scope," he could follow all harbor doings for a mile around. A squarish blob meant a ferryboat; a small oval, a tug. Moored ships showed their anchor chains. Snaking her heavy barges through all these obstacles, the Transfer 21 made Jersey without trouble, though only the radar's electronic...
Einstein proteges Stefan S. Wilkes and George Bochner both serve on the Princeton Faculty. The atomic-energy-for-military-purposes report, produced by a committee including men from both sources and chaired by Smyth, who holds dual connection, typifies the scope of coordination which can exist, despite barriers of formal organization, in a compact and relatively isolated collegiate center...
Evelyn Garvin's story, "If you Should Go to Venice," comes off too, but for different reasons.

"Apprentice" fails in describing children. The little boy involved is repeatedly and annoyingly referred to as "the cube-shaped boy," a bit of unexplained whimsy that...
Princetonians themselves will be the guinea pigs in specific researches coming up. But it will all go on in a quite and unobstrusive way. Since no recommendations concerning methods of instruction or other matters of educational policy lie within the scope of the project, fact-finding for its own sake will be the order of the day. The method of attack will consist in "critical objective analysis, proceeding a step at a time from the simple to the complex as results accumulate...
...Weld don't talk about whether exuberance or deliberate intention caused the architects to come forth with a scheme costly to a staggering degree. They simply point to the colossally liberal scope of every aspect in that group of drawings. Four "large" meeting rooms are 20 by 65 feet. Ten "small" meeting rooms are 15 by 15. Provision is made for two broadcasting studios. Thirty offices would occupy space 10 by 20 each. Even the 11 rest rooms would boast dimensions...
