...Science Foundation, the high school teachers suggested changes in the M.I.T. text, enthusiastically accepted the basic idea: lead students to discover physics concepts through experiments, rather than use experiments to verify laws already memorized. Other M.I.T. innovations: increased emphasis on theoretical rather than applied physics; less electrical circuitry, greater stress on atomics; early teaching of the principle of wave action, to give a unifying theme to much of what will follow...
...story on Admiral Holloway. Unquestionably one of the most cultured and erudite admirals in the Navy, it has been his practice for years to travel with a set of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, edition of 1914 or earlier, as, in his opinion, editions subsequent to World War I laid more stress on science and inventions than on the arts...
...coffeehouses, the teachers refrain from much direct praise of Nasser, instead tell of the achievements of his regime. They come equipped with stacks of picture postcards showing modern developments to be seen in Egypt, and, when pressed, admit that Nasser is the author of these wonders.

With details already worked out, Seaton...

Where the researchers missed the important point was in failing to note that a man of 50 who is still in a subordinate position is likely to suffer from inferiority feelings, a sense of injustice and frustration, whereas the top executive's very position ensures...
