...Mondays that reporters have occasionally been less than accurate. A notorious example was the 1962 school-prayer decision, when much of the press declared that God had been banished from the classroom and the Supreme Court was heaped with abuse it did not deserve. Now that decisions will be strung out during the week, reporters should have ample time to study and assess them more accurately...
...visions of that painting in the campfires." Back in Cambridge, he had the oil sketch shipped to him for closer inspection. Fogg Art Museum colleagues, including Jakob Rosenberg, scrutinized it and agreed on its authenticity. Experts evaluated it as high as $400,000. To make finally certain, Slive strung the painting around his neck in a bag and flew off to Holland. "I felt just like James Bond," confesses Slive. The concurrence of the six leading Dutch Rembrandt scholars made the sleuthing worthwhile. Boston Businessman William A. Coolidge agreed to finance the purchase, and this week Harvard's Fogg...
Today "the Beach" is an outcropping of some of the wildest architecture the world has ever seen, strung along nine miles of slim strand that often dwindles to the vanishing point.

A new picture appeared every five seconds; the famous rills (cracks visible to astronomers on earth) stood out more plainly than ever. New rills appeared, some of them with little craters strung along them like beads. Between them, the floor of Alphonsus, which looks smooth from the distant earth, turned out to be spotted with craters, some single, others in lines, a few showing dark halos...
...electronic machine that can do arithmetic and retrieve information with incredible speed-but that very speed makes it, in its way, superhuman. Inside the computer's refrigerator-like cabinet dwells an intricate network of thin wires, transistors, and hundreds of thousands of tiny magnetized metal rings, all strung together into a memory-and arithmetic-processing unit. The location of each fact stored in the computer's memory is no bigger than the tip of a match, and the computer never forgets these locations...
