Most of Lorca's poems were composed in the simplest Spanish verse, about basic Spanish emotions - love, pride and the awareness of death-and were meant to be sung to the guitar. For years he disliked to have them printed. Many of them were - and still are - sung by people who never saw them in print and could not read them if they...
...which Council supervised elections are conducted. the men who actually supervised the election were "victims of the system." Final responsibility for permitting conditions under which such a thing could happen must be placed on the attitude of the Council as a whole, which has failed to follow the simplest and most obvious recommendations of its own Committee on class Affairs...

It is unbearable, and unwise as well, to cherish memory of the bestial atrocities which have been perpetrated by Moslem and Sikh and Hindu alike. It is beyond human competence to conceive, far less to endure the thought...
Theoretical consequences might be enormous. The hydrogen atom, with its single proton and single electron, is the simplest atomic structure. It is therefore the starting point for investigation of the fundamental mysteries of matter. The atoms of other elements are more complicated, but presumably their constituent particles follow the same basic laws...
...Guide Problem. Simplest missiles are not guided at all; they are "preset" on a calculated course toward the target, as the V-weapons were. "Command" missiles follow orders (radio signals) from the ground, a ship, or a piloted aircraft. "Along-the-way" missiles carry equipment which detects deviations from an established course through space. "Homing" missiles are attracted, like moths to a street light, by the target itself. If the target gives off sound waves, light, heat, or electrical influences, the missile picks up the trail and follows it to the kill...
