Demand for Demolition. This change in tone has been accompanied by a shift in reviewers. Some of the most perceptive writers - Sociologists Lewis Coser and Nathan Glazer, Economist Oscar Gass - are no longer contributing to the Review. Space is now filled by such New Left Partisans as Paul Goodman, Conor Cruise O'Brien, Andrew Kopkind and Chomsky, who reflect the opinions of the Review's principal founder, Jason Epstein, and its editor, Robert Silvers. "I wanted to write critical reviews," says Coser, a professor of sociology at Brandeis, "not the kind of demolition jobs they asked for. They...
...study he headed while working at Long Island's Kollsman Instrument Corp., Moskowitz and his co-workers plotted a hypothetical space flight to the star 45 Eridani, barely visible to the naked eye from earth and some 466 light-years away. Picking well-known stars in 45 Eridani's region of the sky, he fed data about their positions, distance and absolute brightness into a computer programmed to generate the appropriate star map for any point along the route of the flight...
...celestial navigator on the flight had not already become lost in space, there was a more puzzling effect to confound him: relativistic aberration, the apparent shift of visible stars toward the direction of the spacecraft's motion. Thus, the computer showed, as the craft approached 45 Eridani at ever increasing velocities, other stars in the sky began to converge toward the target star. At 90% of the speed of light, only a few stars remained visible through the rear window. In a nightmarish finale to Moskowitz's flight, the remainder of the visible universe-stars, galaxies, nebulas-seemed...
More and more companies have taken the initiative and are carrying on their own training programs. Lockheed Aircraft has started a VIP (for Vocational Improvement Program) training course at its Sunnyvale, Calif., space plant that combines job training with classroom work in mathematics, encourages class members to move up from starting jobs as factory helpers to skilled occupations...
...shrinking, John Lewis' sales rocketed 130%, to $154 million in 1966. Sales are up another 7% and profits up 40% in the first half of this year. In household goods and dress materials no British store can match the John Lewis record for sales per square foot of space. An unusual trading policy and an even rarer company structure, in which all 17,000 employees are "partners" sharing in profits, have paid off handsomely...
