Everyone keeps track of the statistics, grim or absurd. Since the Military Armistice Commission began meeting, North Korea has charged the U.N. command with no fewer than 56,889 truce violations, most of them such minor procedural matters as the presence of improper arm bands on U.N. guards. The U.N. has admitted 93 violations and charged North Korea with 6,313. Pyongyang has admitted only two, the last one in 1953. It is so adamant about not taking blame for the increased tensions along the DMZ that it refuses to accept the bodies of slain North Korean soldiers, insisting that...
...cloudy at the beach. It is ladies' day at the golf course. His boat is in drydock, and his wallet won't stand a trip to the track. So what is a restless sports buff to do on a summer afternoon? He could take in a baseball game, but he probably won't. Empty seats are the sign of baseball's times...
...most common method of rechanneling is to break down the original single track into a left track that emphasizes high frequencies and a right track that emphasizes the lows, then add reverberation.

Of course, some orchestras are not arranged that way. Worse, the bass line is often muddied in the filtering...
...pretty grueling when one is juggling 20 planes per minute. Typical salaries start at $6,321 and stop at $15,828. Jets on radar screens show up so indistinctly that one controller literally died of fright. Says Michael Rock, chairman of PATCO: "It seems ridiculous that NASA can track a needle and we can't even make out two giant jets if they are closer than a mile and a half...
...kind of vague diplomatic or legislative program--although the candidates try hard to differentiate themselves here--but what a Dedham real estate man terms "strong, trustworthy leadership." Voters, as a whole, seem less outraged by Mayor Lindsay's anguished call that "we've gotten off the track" than by drift in Vietnam, dabbling with inflation, and shilly-shallying on riots. Lyndon Johnson's oft-affirmed practice of seeking a high middle ground has gotten him--and men like Nixon and Humphrey--in more hot water than the grinding poverty and casualty rates which produce the most extreme forms of protest...
