...twin terms "domestic security" and "national security" are so broad that they can be invoked to cover a multitude of actions-many of them in violation of the Constitution. But the agencies normally responsible for protecting the nation from both foreign and internal threats (see box following page) are federal bodies sanctioned...
...laboratory was launched two weeks ago, ground controllers knew that Skylab was in trouble. Telemetered signals indicated that the meteoroid-and-heat-shield protecting the workshop and living quarters of the craft had been ripped away. The telemetry also seemed to confirm that one of the workshop's twin electricity-producing solar panels had sheared off, and the other had been jammed by debris from the shield...
...arms of the shield alerted flight controllers to serious problems. Apparently unable to withstand the intense vibrations after liftoff, some and possibly all of the thin shielding around Skylab's Orbital Workshop section suddenly ripped free. As it tore away, it apparently caused one of the twin solar wings on the Orbital Workshop to extend prematurely...
...high estimates of the heritability of I.Q. do not rest entirely on the famous 122 twin cases. (Incidentally, no one has yet shown anything seriously wrong with those data). There are, in addition, literally tens of thousands of correlational pairs: siblings, parents and children, natural or foster parents and children, fraternal twins compared to identical twins, and so on and on, since the first decade of the century. The overwhelming mass of evidence implies a heritability for I.Q. of 60 per cent or over. The 80 per cent figure turns up fairly often, but it is not necessary...

No other film has given so strong a sense of its pervasiveness, or the methodical detail with which it was grafted onto the twin German traditions of folk and high art. Goebbels' cameramen, filming the gnarled peasants at work or the shiny, hopeful faces of village children baking festive rolls in the shape of swastikas, were building on the most popular traditions of 19th century German genre painting-that volkisch sentiment that was Germany's equivalent to America...
