...periods of Republican control have produced no such phenomenon. To take this qeustion at its simplest level: no New Deal legislation has thus far been replaced.

...union's semiskilled machine-tenders, the most vulnerable targets of automation. With the help of Donald B. Levinson, a Hughes Aircraft electrical engineer, and RCA Electronic Technician Joseph Schoen, Hauer settled on a night curriculum. The class will meet twice a week for four years, start with the simplest math problems but eventually lead the students through basic courses in radar, physics and electronics. The course outline has been accepted by the state-supported adult education program. The classes are open to nonunion registrants, and the only tuition for the course is a 25? token fee required...
...much harder for a machine to handle than the obvious vocabularly differences. But by using Interlingua, with its relatively simple sentence structure, he believes, as an intermediary, the machine could be perfected much sooner. If, for instance, a person wanted to translate, electronically, Russian into English, it would be simplest, cheapest, and best to feed the machine an Interlingua translation of the Russian, which would then be electronically changed into English. Such a system would make Interlingua and Electronics complementary to each other, rather than in opposition...
Even in the simplest organisms, the protoplasm seems to have a goal; it knows what it wants to do.

When matter is touched by man's protoplasm, the kind with the highest purpose, it becomes extremely complicated, with thoughts and aspirations that defy scientific pinpointing...
