...rich get richer, and the poor, poorer. That's the way the Ivy League should shape up this afternoon, as Harvard, Dartmouth, Princeton, and Cornell meet their lesser lights...
...since then. Judged not only by the volume of legislation passed-which is unparalleled-but also by its direction, diversity and ultimate impact, the 89th may well rank in history's view as one of the most effective Congresses. The real import of the 89th lies in the shape of its influence on the future. Many of its far-reaching programs are now only beginning to make what surely will be a historic impact on American society...
...Foul Shape & Fair. Magsaysay had gone a long way toward curing the Philippines' ills before his untimely death. His successors, however, were either uninterested in putting an end to graft and lawlessness or simply did not have the strength to cope. Ferdie Marcos did. As the youngest Liberty Party Congressman ever elected, his name was attached to legislation that ranged from civil rights to land reform.

...details about their satellites before they are launched - and precious few afterward - they cannot keep their secrets for very long. Soon after a Soviet space craft has gone into orbit, U.S. Air Force scientists not only record its speed and plot its orbit but determine its size and shape and often deduce its mission. Their spatial detective work is made possible by radar signature analysis (RSA), a little-known technique that may some day be used to save the U.S. from a sneak attack...
...tracking station. Largely by measuring the amplitude, or strength, of the reflected pulses, they can calculate the satellite's size; by analyzing the variations in pulse amplitude caused by the satellite's rotation or merely by its passage across the sky, they can determine its shape with remarkable precision. By determining the time it takes the pulse pattern to repeat itself, they can learn how fast the distant space craft is tumbling, rolling or spinning around its axes...
