Yet they feel that his long, patient campaign against freedom must be studied and understood. Their criticism is directed not at Skinner the scientific technician (the soundness of his laboratory work is seldom questioned) but at Skinner the philosopher and political thinker; his proposal for a controlled society, they say, is both unworkable and evil...
...entrance of big firms like G.E. and Bristol-Myers into the moviemaking field is not likely to mean any loss to art, for art has seldom had any direct relationship with the box office.

For example, Manhattan importers of Scotch whisky forecast that shelf prices would go up about 100 per fifth...
...goal posts. Pith helmets or padded caps are required. But the mallets are half-size with 30-in. handles, the field is only a third as large, and a player is limited to three successive hits (compared with the unlimited number in regulation polo). For girls' teams, seldom seen in pony polo, the braless look is de rigueur...
