Nazis were proud that "Bernstein got off easily," proud of his trial...
...word 'Jew' probably has not been used once during this trial," declared the court proudly. "Herr Bernstein did not stand in the dock as a Jew but simply as a businessman who had broken German...
...seventh or eighth degree-that is, equations containing terms raised to the seventh or eighth power. It is impossible to obtain formal, exact solutions of equations higher than the fourth degree. Approximate numerical solutions of equations of the fifth degree and up can be arrived at by laborious trial & error, trying one value, then another, and so on until a value is found which approximately fits the mathematical statement...
Described last week in the Franklin Institute's Journal was an electrical robot which, taking advantage of the differences between voltage phases, performs this trial & error in a few minutes instead of hours or days. Designed by Engineer Harry C. Hart and others of the Moore School of Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, it is a complex but small and neat layout of generators with movable stators, potentiometers, gears, cams, rectifiers, amplifiers, etc. Reduced to simplest terms, a series of potentiometers (low-resistance voltmeters) is set to correspond to the coefficients of the equations to be solved...
...year-old unemployed boiler mechanic of White Plains, one Martin McBohin, a Wartime Marine sergeant. Last week Martin McBohin stuck adhesive tape over the offensive lettering and was promptly arrested for defacing a license plate. Sure that he was standing on his rights, Objector McBohin, up for trial this week, roundly declared: "I'm prepared to appeal the case to the highest court."
