Littauer should not junk the extension program, for it is most valuable in its field. Nor can it stiffen its admissions requirements, for the extensioneers should be chosen primarily for their agricultural, not their scholarly ability. What Littauer can tamper with, however, is the doctor's degree itself. If the degree clearly indicated that the extension doctorate was in agricultural studies alone, there could be no complaints that standards were being diluted. For the farm educators' purposes, this qualification would rub no shine off their sheepskins. And it would close a loophole through which many academically average students have been...

If the tamper were eliminated, which is possible, the bomb would weigh not much more than an eleven-inch sphere of TNT (about...

"Uncle Fred" Woolton (who became a household name to Britons during his able wartime administration of food rationing) was plainly...

Such a gloomy fadeout, Whitney argued, would horrify the peppy, up-to-the-minute salesman of today. Kramer would not tamper with the grim plot of his forthcoming film version of Death of a Salesman. But he offered a sop. Columbia would make a special ten-minute short for Whitney's organization, showing that salesmen these days are not like Willy Loman at all, but happy, well-trained technicians...
