College wide or University-wide mechanisms for reviewing the propriety of courses could as easily choose to muffle the radical point-of-view as that of the social engineers. Professors Handlin and Bailyn proposed such a review board to the Faculty during the ROTC debate, and its first target would probably have been Soc. Rel. 149 sections on rent control, not Professor Huntington's course on developing countries...
...which are already using it for filming aerial telescopic shots. TV networks are also equipping their mobile units with the device. And the armed forces are not only using the system for photography and surveillance but are also experimenting with Dynalens-equipped gun sights that remain fixed on their target and keep gun barrels pointed in the right direction, despite any movement of the platform itself...
...Arizona astronomers had three good reasons for picking their target: 1) most scientists now believe that pulsars are neutron stars, small and incredibly dense spheres that are residues of exploded stars like the one that formed the Crab nebula; 2) a pulsar had recently been detected in the Crab by radio telescopes and 3) the Crab pulsar, or neutron star, beeps faster than any discovered to date. Thus it is presumably younger, hotter and brighter, and could be seen more easily than any other...
Corresponding Flashes. Although the target star seemed to be shining steadily, the astronomers fed its light into an electronic device that made 12,000 separate light-intensity measurements every second. They quickly discovered that the starlight increased to a peak about 30 times per second, a variation too rapid to be detected by the human eye. The flashes corresponded exactly to the radio pulses from the Crab pulsar, strongly suggesting that the target was indeed the pulsar. Unlike an earlier and apparently erroneous sighting of a flashing pulsar (TIME, May 31), this discovery was confirmed by the McDonald Observatory...
...Target. Black students at Evanston Township High School in Illinois, for example, have formed an organization sardonically called BOY and presented the school superintendent with a list of ten demands that is a virtual carbon copy of what blacks are agitating for on college campuses. The superintendent and the board of education are considering all the demands, and have agreed to one: they have added a course on Afro-American culture that will begin this week and be taught by a black instructor...
