...cockpit is almost nonexistent at present. The Mercury capsule which has made three orbital flights, is largely controlled from the ground. Mercury astronauts can partially shut off ground control by flipping switches; they are in fact, told to do so in order to eliminate the remote possibility that a stray electronic impulse (or an enemy-sent signal) might fire their retrorockets prematurely. But eventually they must flip that vital switch back on again. Only a signal sent from the ground at the proper instant can bring them safely down...
...like George Wald to teach in the program. To many senior men on the Faculty Gen Ed seems the province of sentimentalists sacrificing valuable scholarly time; to many teaching fellows a jumble of needlessly time-consuming, oversectioned, tedious courses; to many undergraduates a confusing and haphazard attempt to impose stray bits of knowledge. Luckily there are many exceptions, some of them beautiful: for example Wald's decision, or Beer's devices for having his section-men educate each other, or undergraduate enthusiasm for a new course such as Humanities 8. Yet still, few outside the program could be called devoted...
...reader observes Wilde's polite overtures to literary elders ("I take the liberty of sending you a short monograph. . . . It is little more than a stray sheet from a boy's diary"), watches with tolerance as the young wit, in an endless series of newspaper debates, carefully builds his reputation for outrageousness, and follows the unpredictable triumph of his American lecture tour, as the 27-year-old aesthete, dressed in velvet doublet and knee breeches, lectures enthusiastic Leadville miners on Italian art (Pearson's biography helps explain the Leadville success: it seems that Wilde wowed the miners...
...forced to choose between its new public and its resistance to extensive restyling. AMC hopes to stick with its basic '63 styling for at least three years. Says Cross: "We haven't opened Pandora's box." Nor has the company any hankering to stray outside the compact field. "The most rapidly expanding part of the auto market today is the compact segment," says President Abernethy. "It currently accounts for 38% of the market, and we expect it to go up to 50% before long." AMC's 1963 sales goal: 620,000, up 28% over...
...Bartolet at the helm, Harvard gained its last touchdown, but not before Bartolet had fumbled, and was trapped for an eight yard loss. A pass from the 16 to Hudepohl almost did the trick, but Hudepohl fumbled at the five. Dick Diehl was again the saviour, pouncing on the stray pigskin at the one. Bartl then slipped around right end to score. The stands began to empty, slowly; John Yovicsin smiled, faintly.CRIMSONAlbert B. CrenshawThe third touchdown: MIKE BASSETT (23), getting protection from WALT DOBRZELECKI (62) and FRED BARTL (30), gets off pass from the Lehigh 30. BILL TAYLOR (12) receives...
