Margaret Rutherford is thoroughly convincing as the bulldozing, bustling headmistress, who labels the situation "an ascending spiral of iniquity." Alastair Sim is equally good as the distracted headmaster faced with invasion, whose favorite position is a tragic out-the-window gaze...
Edward E. Reynolds, vice president of the university, says Harvard may not be able to afford maid service for dormitorles next year if wage scales continue to go up. This would compel students to make their own beds. If the inflationary spiral isn't checked, it's logical to expect that the university will project this policy into other fields.

...employees went, to work at the giant H-bomb plant. Aiken, which has a population of 7,000 and has been a resort for the wealthy since the 1880s, expected to zoom to a bustling town of 12,000, and already last week, real-estate prices had started to spiral.

They did the job with the largest radio telescope (a trellis-like "dish" of wires) at Jodrell Bank Experimental Station south of Manchester. Normally this telescope points upward, receiving radio waves from a narrow "beam" directly overhead. If the mast at the center is swung 14° to one side, the telescope points, in effect, toward the Andromeda...
