Besides the shortage of delegates and electoral votes, small-staters suffer from other handicaps that do not afflict the Governors of New York, California and Michigan. With their modest personnel budgets, they cannot readily afford the large staffs necessary to put a politician in the spotlight and keep him there. There are fewer big moneymen in the back yard willing to finance political spadework, fewer political professionals available to give counsel and serve as delegate hunters...
This is not a vote of confidence in, or congratulation for, homosexuality. Those who suffer from this disability carry a great weight of loneliness, guilt, shame and other difficulties. The crucial question we have to answer is whether, in addition to these other disadvantages, they should also be made subject to the full rigor of the criminal...
...science books, one of them-a highly understandable tour of mathematics called The Realm of Numbers -in just 13 days. "I knew it all in my head," he explains. "It was just a matter of getting it down." Yet the quality of Asimov's writing seems seldom to suffer from his pounding haste.

If so, it may be possible to detect future victims of heart disease early in life by a simple, though sensitive, hearing test.

Despite heavy help from the makeup and wardrobe departments, she seldom departs from her customary screen self, and all seven women suffer from an unflatter ing family resemblance. Most of the blame, however, must fall on De Sica, who has wasted such talented actors as Arkin, Sellers, Michael Caine, Philippe Noiret and Vittorio Gassman in a ponderously directed, flaccid work. Better than anyone else, he should know that a tour de farce...
