...most familiar techniques for teaching elementary electricity is to compare the flow of electrons through wires to the passage of fluids through pipes. The analogy is so valid that scientists are now changing it from a textbook explanation to practical application. They are building fluid circuits that supplement and even replace some electronic devices. By controlling and amplifying the flow of fluids (either gases or liquids), just as electron flow is controlled and amplified in electronic circuits, they have conjured up a variety of odd new fluidic devices that offer valuable improvements on their electronic counterparts...
...debate, however, was proposed as a supplement to the information al meetings, not as a substitute for them. There would be ample time in Secretary McNamara's visit for both. Secondly, the Secretary of Defense, whose position requires him to speak informally with the President at one moment and address a news conference the next, surely would not feel inhibited merely because he was to speak formally later that day.
