...President, you have been my boss for a number of years, and you always tell me you want to lose weight, and yet you never do very much to help yourself. Now I am going to be your boss for a change. Eat what I put in front of you and don't ask for any more and don't complain. Zephyr." Staring direly at Lady Bird, L.B.J. declared: "Now if arrogance of power is anywhere, it's in your kitchen...
...concentration requirements. But it is especially relevant in the case of Gov, which requires a student to specialize in one of the Department's three areas and then to take two sets of generals--one in his own and one in all the other areas. Because of the heavy weight given to generals in computing the degree of honors, "take as many gov courses as you can possibly squeeze in" becomes the implicit requirement for those who want to do well. The Department supplements this unwritten rule by also requiring Ec 1 and a year of history...
...proposals would encourage this more inter-disciplinary approach by reducing (by half) the weight given to generals; by eliminating specifically required related courses; and by substituting a twelve half-course concentration requirement, up to six of which may be in related fields...
...size-177 ft. longer and 37 ft. greater in diameter than the Hindenburg-would give it an added advantage over even the largest of the old dirigibles, which Morse says were "just at the threshold of efficient performance." Doubling the length of a dirigible, for example, increases its weight four times, but provides an eightfold increase in lift...
...colleagues see no other practical way of achieving nuclear-powered flight in the near future. Though scientists and engineers have worked on plans for nuclear airplanes for more than a decade, they have yet to get off the drawing boards-let alone into the air. The big problems are weight and radiation hazard. A reactor big enough to power a 335,000-lb. 707 jet, for example, would require 225,000 Ibs. of radiation shielding to protect passengers-considerably more than the plane could lift. In the event of a crash, the high impact speed of the plane would almost...
