...only does Hadley deal inadequately with strategy, but he also presents arms control in a shallow manner. Although he says several times that arms control is no panacea, his failure to explore the actual essence of arms control yields that impression. In other words, the reader puts down his book thinking that if only the nation were as bright as Hadley and consequently understood the need for arms control, it could then buy "it" downtown somewhere...
...surface. Army amphibious craft were ready to retrieve the capsule if it fell in the surf. Waiting out at sea were 65-ft. Navy speedboats; other special craft were on the alert should the capsule head in the wrong direction and land in the Banana River, the shallow lagoon behind Cape Canaveral. The chance that any of this complicated and costly equipment would be needed had been calculated at something like 1 in 100. But among the burdens (and the glories) of the U.S. military tradition is the principle that a man in distress is worth the cost...
...Shallow Cycle. Despite such signs, the optimism of those who look for a six-month recovery is by no means universally shared. "It would be premature," warned the First National City Bank of New York in its monthly letter, "to assume that recession problems are all behind us and that a rapid climb lies ahead."

Particularly disturbing is the behavior of inventories, which are not turning around as quickly as economists had hoped. Inventory cutting in the first quarter continued...
...three previous rounds, Palmer had scored three straight pars at the par-four 18th; last year, his birdie at the 18th won the Masters. This time Palmer's drive split the middle of the fairway. But his second shot, hit too hastily, veered into a shallow trap at the right edge of the green-the same trap Player's ball had found minutes before. The TV cameras panned in, showed Palmer's ball "plugged"-half buried in the sand-and Player began nervously to sip his drink...
...evidence of Birmingham's shallow writing that he can present the foregoing statement about Ivy girls uncritically. The masculinization of the Ivy girl is a result of a tough competitive atmosphere, a perhaps undesirable after-effect of subjecting women to a man's education. The strident, supercilious tone of various girls' remarks about Ivy boys amuses Birmingham, when perhaps a more adequate response would be horror. Many educators now feel that the Ivy girl's schooling is just building her up for the great letdown to come, when she is forced to play the woman's part. And many parents...
