...right word here, though, since Bruce uses the new Audio Dynamics ADC-1 cartridge and tracks it (in his home-made professional arm) at about 3/4 of a gram! The ADC-1 is one indication of how seriously Humphrey is concerned with the problem of record-wear and surface-noise. His care for records doesn't end with use of the world's lowest-pressure commercial cartridge. The familiar Dust Bug is very much present, as it is in just about everybody's system these days. But the real clincher is yet to come...
...removed it from a special polyethlene sleeve which he had had to peel from it like backing from one of those bumper stickers. Somewhat taken aback, we asked him about it. It seems that Bruce uses a special silicone lubricant on his records which he figures cuts record wear by about 75%. This gunk has the happy advantage of not gumming up the needle (as most record cleaners do). Although the records are somewhat sticky to handle and dust might tend to cling to the slightly tack surfaces if the discs were allowed to lie around, Bruce finds this method...
...handle this mounting load by present means, Britain alone would have to spend $56 million for new ferries, ports, planes and airfields in the next five years. By contrast, the proposed British contribution to a tunnel would be $73 million-and a tunnel would not wear out as do planes and ferries. And where a Channel bridge, because of its huge cost, would have to be subsidized by the British and French governments, a consortium of six international banks* is prepared to raise the entire cost of a Channel tunnel from private investors throughout Europe...
...signs, Brandt maintained, show-that the shock and dismay caused by the Wall had begun to wear off. West Berlin's industrial production, said Brandt, is higher than it was a year ago, incoming orders exceed those of October 1960, and employment is on the rise; tax revenues are increasing steadily and savings accounts are satisfactory. After West Berlin's 1958 crisis, Brandt continued, it took seven months before bank deposits returned to normal; today deposits are bouncing back far faster. Some of the signs cited by Brandt may be the result of artificial respiration. More important...
...blocks, and large page numbers. The space fraud does not matter, but the unfulfilled expectation of substance does. There is only one major character, and he is not very interesting, even to himself. His name is Adam Rosenzweig, a young Bavarian Jew whose crippled left foot requires him to wear a special boot (his Jewishness makes him an outcast and his lameness, melodramatically, makes him doubly so-Warren still does not trust his own skill). Exalted with a vision of freedom, Adam decides to migrate to the U.S. to fight with the union in the Civil...
