...every right to march downtown and protest. Trouble is, the members are not allowed to cross the street. They are preschool children, ages three to five. Unable to discern the mindlessness of Huckleberry Hound and Heckle and Jeckle, they have been forced to sit there and kill time since TV began...
ECKSTEIN: We are really sitting on a time bomb. The private economy would like to get going, and we had better look out that we don't turn it loose too fully or too quickly. If things go badly, and the Administration has to think about antirecession programs, the sensible thing would be to accelerate carefully thought-out proposals-such as the family-assistance program and revenue sharing-rather than rushing into a collection of usually unsuccessful, temporary antirecession measures, such as public works...
...atoms. About one of every 500 atoms of oxygen in water is O18, and water molecules containing the heavy isotope will fall from clouds in the form of rain or snow before those with ordinary oxygen atoms. In colder weather, the isotope falls even more rapidly. Thus, by the time that clouds arrive over the site where the ice cores were taken, the ratio of O18 atoms to ordinary oxygen atoms in the precipitation is lower than usual...

Palmer, an associate research professor in Oregon's state system of higher learning, began working with children across the country.

I was Jan Overbeek, yes. But I didn't look like him. Not yet. My nose is straight, as straight as Hitler's, but there was something wrong with my eyes. Not the sight, but the expression.
