...knew about the demonstration was the sign spray-painted on the entrance to the Cambridge Common that says "Presidio 7-March 24." Last Fall, the Resistance had called for a draft card turn-in on November 14. We had spent many early morning hours hiding from police cars in order to stencil Omegas and "Nov. 14" all over Cambridge-- buildings, sidewalks, walls, everywhere. The style was still the same...
Difference in Nuance. This is hardly a new policy.

Americans are inclined to accept many of the details of Kennedy's explanation: that he took the wrong turn onto the bridge road by mistake, that he dived several times in an effort to rescue Mary Jo Kopechne, that he returned later with Paul Markham and Joseph Gargan in an effort to reach the girl.

Both probes worked at incredibly high speeds. Once the Martian image was captured by their video equipment, it was rapidly translated into electronic signals of varying intensity representing 64 shades of light and dark. Those impulses, in turn, were beamed to earth in the binary language of the computer. To make one complete picture, the spacecrafts' equipment had to scan 665,208 points of light and dark, each of which was converted into six bits of computer information. That five-minute job involved more than 4,000,000 bits for each picture. The poky equipment on Mariner 4 needed...
