...downtown Austin, the ninth floor of a new federal office-building complex is listed only as "Secret Service," but in fact it includes a luxurious suite of offices for L.B.J., a staff and about a dozen Secret Service agents still assigned to the ex-President. One uniformed agent sits in the lobby with an eleven-button telephone; no one gets past him without an appointment. Johnson either flies into Austin by Air Force helicopter, landing on the roof, or drives in his Lincoln Continental. Federal employees are finding parking spots in the basement garage increasingly hard to come...
...part to the generally held view that Dinis' intention may be to enhance his own political career. Abraham Goldstein, professor of law at Yale, is among those who believe that Dinis should have brought the case before a grand jury, which would have conducted its hearings in secret. "The whole investigative process could be pursued more reasonably with a grand jury." says Goldstein. Professor Herbert Packer of Stanford's law school disapproves altogether of Dinis' handling of the case. "It's just one incompetence after another," he says. "What Dinis has assured himself of is maximum...
Therein lies the secret of their usefulness. Because their presence or absence at specific points in the wafer can be precisely controlled and electronically detected, bubbles can be used to carry coded messages in the on-off binary language of the computer, store reams of data and perform myriad mathematical calculations. Moreover, controlling the position of the bubbles is relatively simple. One method is to send small electric currents through tiny circuits printed on the surface of the crystalline wafer; the currents generate magnetic fields that cause bubbles to form at predetermined locations in the wafer. Currents passed through different...
...William Bryce Wasson. Wasson missed ordination in the U.S. because of poor health, came to Cuernavaca to recuperate, and was ordained by Méndez Arceo. Today he presides over a remarkable orphanage that Psychoanalyst Erich Fromm recently praised as "really rare-an institution that has happy orphans." The secret, says Fromm, is that each of Wasson's 900 orphans knows "he will not be expelled or abandoned for any reason"-yet at the same time he is "expected to contribute, not to fall into idleness...
Palatial Style. The secret of managing such an empire, as Barron tells it, "is being on the scene at the proper time." In keeping with that philosophy, Barron jumps into his private jet or his 200-m.p.h. helicopter as readily as most businessmen leap into taxis. Frequently, he manages to visit as many as half a dozen Hilton hotels in a single day. A black Rolls-Royce convertible whisks him from his Beverly Hills headquarters to his palatial home in Holmby Hills, where he, his wife Marilyn and their eight children enjoy a swimming pool, tennis court, putting green, sauna...
