With characteristic respect for history and contempt for waste, Lady Bird documented her five White House years by squirreling away appointment sheets, memoranda, letters and, above all, by talking almost every day's events into a tape recorder. The result was some 1,750,000 words that will eventually be available to scholars at the L.B.J. library. Diary is a sampler, some 300,000 words in nearly 800 pages, constituting a singular account of an exacting and freakish assignment, that of being a First Lady in the second half of the 20th century...
...shrewd pragmatist, but he is also a man who grew up amid the Moslem, Hindu and animist influences of central Java. He frequently plans strategy with military men on the golf course, listens to his impressive array of American-trained economists, and keeps abreast of current trends via tape-recorded textbooks. Suharto also relies on his spiritual advisers. Since his youth, he has consulted an influential mystical teacher, Raden Mas Darjatmo, who serves as a combination dukun, kebatinan (medium) and guru. Suharto often seeks out his old dukun when he visits his home village of Wonogiri...

Because ferrimagnetic substances are electrically nonconducting-therefore immune to stray currents-they have proved highly useful material for the coating of magnetic tape, computer memory cores and other important Electronic Age components...
Police quickly ruled out robbery as a motive. The Ohtas were wearing expensive jewelry, and in Dr. Ohta's bedroom they found a valuable tape recorder, cameras and more jewelry. There was no sign of a struggle, and all the bodies were neatly dressed. Stacks of kindling were also discovered in the house, indicating that the fire had been deliberately set by the killer to attract attention. Said Kenneth Pittenger, deputy sheriff of Santa Cruz County, where Soquel is located: "It was like an execution...
...some sequences form is not clear enough, and the implications of Godard's method of presentation do not reveal themselves. During the long "experimental film," for example, one tape recording of a student's speech during the strike of May '68 is played, then speeded up, then slowed to catch a section of his speech so far ahead that its subject has changed. When this tape is running at high speed a whispering voice supplies theoretical dicta for revolutionary action, possibly as a critique of the first. What this mode of presentation implies is unclear. Lacking accompanying images...
