...years at 6%. The presidential compound formed by the two houses is flanked by Nixon's friends. The ubiquitous Rebozo owns a house adjacent to the President's property. The house next to Rebozo's was bought early this year by Robert Abplanalp, a strong Nixon supporter during the 1968 presidential campaign, who owns Grand Cay in the Bahamas, a retreat the President favors. Nixon's third house, in Whittier, Calif., where his mother once lived, is a potential profitmaker. The house and lot are valued at $75,000-the mortgage...
...charge. And the battlefield was only one test: the struggle southward along the tangle of jungle paths called the Ho Chi Minh Trail often lasted four to six months, during which many perished of disease, malnutrition and exhaustion. If a trooper survived that trek, he had proved himself strong indeed?and there seems little question that the spirit imparted by Uncle Ho deserved a share of the credit. Ho's successors may be able to keep that spirit alive for a time, but not forever. It remains to be seen whether, once the memory of Ho fades, the soldier from...
Nixon's problem, Barber says, is a failure to communicate; it stems from "a very strong drive for personal power-especially independent power-which pushes him away from reliance on any one else." In council, Nixon listens attentively and then "retires to his chambers, where he may spend hours in complete solitude" before he "emerges and pronounces the verdict." It is, says Barber, "the lonely seclusion adopted consciously as a way of deciding that stands out in Nixon's personal-relations style." This style has already produced a number of "presidential stumbles," among them the rejection of John...
...several years, Bell scientists have been experimenting with thin wafers of crystalline materials known as orthoferrites, which are compounds of iron oxides and such rare-earth minerals as ytterbium, thulium and samarium-terbium. They found that when a strong enough magnetic field is applied, orthoferrites display an extraordinary property: tiny cylinder-shaped areas, or "bubbles," of magnetism are formed in the wafer, their polarity opposite to that of the surrounding material. Often smaller in diameter than a human hair, the magnetic bubbles can be maneuvered and positioned into an almost endless variety of patterns...
...developed at much too early an age, and at the expense of their emotional development. Although exceedingly bright, some remained emotionally fixated at the age of the temper tantrum." > "The political content of student revolt is most of all a desperate wish that the parent should have been strong in the convictions that motivate his actions. This is why so many of our radical students embrace Maoism, why they chant 'Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh' in their demonstrations. They chant of strong fathers with strong convictions." >"We should not overlook the symbolic meaning of the student invasions...
