Thus the thing we see most clearly now is that the great strength of the American nation lies not in its wealth, nor its physical isolation nor even the fact that so many Irishmen came to its shores. Our strength lies in our capacity to govern ourselves. Of all the hundred and twenty-two odd members of the United Nations, there are, I believe, not more than eight or nine which both existed in 1914 and have not had their form of government changed by force since that time. We are one of that fortunate few. And more than luck...
...offers an agile, witty play that snaps with verbal acrobatics and precisely choreographed dances of the mind, while coming heart-beat close to the pity and terror of mortality. In the title roles, Brian Murray and John Wood are phenomenal, and Derek Goldby's direction has tensile strength...
...there were differences in results. Although the Russians did not detect a Venusian magnetic field, Mariner discovered slight magnetic activity that could have come either from a field less than 1/300th the strength of earth's or simply from the interaction between the solar wind and the Venusian ionosphere. The Russians at first reported that carbon dioxide comprised 98% of the Venusian atmosphere, but later revised the figure down to between 90% and 95%, closer to Mariner's reported 72% to 87%. And while Mariner could find no evidence of oxygen in the atmosphere, the Venus 4 capsule...

These, he argues, should be the vital areas of U.S. concern; all the others must be secondary.

Accordingly, he sees...
Both Harvard and Yale have run at Dartmouth and, naturally, the race prognosticators have compared times. Running without four of the top seven, Harvard's team compiled times which would have lost to the full-strength Yale varsity by a scant point. But, as noted, everyone is running for the Crimson today...
