Despairing Squeal. As only he can do it, Khrushchev last week once again defined the quarrel. For the first time in an attack on the Chinese, he mentioned Mao Tse-tung by name, and for the first time he publicly used the word "split," which, he said, "could no longer be hushed up." Gleefully, he imitated the high-pitched Chinese speech when he talked about their "seemingly revolutionary squeals, which are really squeals of despair." He called them Trotskyites, and hinting at the fate that lies ahead for Mao, Khrushchev shouted: "Where is Trotsky now? Rotting...
Smart victims can fight back. One fairly effective weapon is a broad-band radio receiver that gives a squeal if a bug is transmitting near by. Another anti-bug is carried around the room while the occupant keeps talking loudly; if he hears his own voice in the earphones, he is listening to the output of a hidden bug. The best defense is a thorough, periodic search by an electronic exterminator. Otherwise, anyone who suspects he is being bugged should talk in low tones and keep a radio or TV squawking loudly.

Armour in recent years has pushed both modernization and diversification to make use of almost everything in an animal but its squeal.

And what if Boeing-maker and creator of the 707s-were to open its vast doors only to release a string of skinny, canvas-covered, piston-driven biplanes...
...grown from 12 to 17. More than a tenth of the 10,000 students in the regular session at Alabama's main Tuscaloosa campus are in the graduate schools. Not that bookish sobriety rules the campus. Some 3,500 coeds provide the usual distracting feminine graces, and "squeal night," the traditional end of sorority rush week, is just that: "You can hear those girls shrieking all the way to the other side of Tuscaloosa." Faculty morale is high, and teacher turnover low, out of a sense of assured academic freedom...
