...years U.S. educators have touted the potentialities of the computer as a teaching tool. Dartmouth Mathematician John G. Kemeny contends that "the computer revolution will be just as significant in education as the industrial revolution." Now, computers have arrived on many campuses for programmed instruction, the solving of intricate problems by students, and the simulation of real-life situations in computer-controlled "games." M.I.T.'s civil engineering department is so enthusiastic over computer-aided instruction that it divides history into "B.C." and "A.C." - before and after computers...
...really going to revolutionize education, the colleges are going to have to develop more flexible and sophisticated approaches to programmed instruction-and the Federal Government is going to have to decide whether it wants to put its money behind the computer as a teaching as well as a research tool...
...About 62,000 more registered nurses are wanted; so are 3,000 janitors and maids, whom hospitals find hard to hire because of relatively low wages. Skilled engineers and technicians have long been in short supply, but so now are such blue-collar workers as tool-and diemakers, painters and auto mechanics, who can make up to $18,000 a year. Around-the-clock businesses like hotels are finding it difficult to compete for cashiers and telephone operators with 9-to-5 companies who offer a five-day work week as well. Playboy clubs find it impossible to hire enough...
...building block of the universe became so great that in 1962 Physicists Murray Gell-Mann and George Zweig, working independently, devised and described hypothetical particles that would meet all of the necessary requirements. Gell-Mann insisted that his particle, which he called the quark,*was simply a theoretical tool useful in describing the nature of subatomic particles; it did not necessarily have to exist. But ever since, physicists have been searching in vain for a real quark. Now two British scientists, writing in Nature, have suggested that the search for the quark be conducted in the lower ionosphere, 30 miles...
After many lengthy discussions, the SDS people decided that the central issue of the war could be their most effective organizing tool. So long as SDS was organizing around the war and then going on to more fundamental issues, the project's aim of ending the war was not endangered. And since each local organizing group would be autonomous, ghetto and student organizing efforts could certainly be included in the project...
