...opposite to characterize the development of the new Humanities area. We do not wish to introduce a central demarcation within it....We see the proposed Humanities area as a spectrum, spanning history, literature, and art.

...more than the output of both engines of a wartime B-25 bomber. If built conventionally, it would have been far too heavy; for the XB-70A, fluid pressure was raised to 4,000 Ibs. per sq. in. in unusually thin tubing. Such changes save weight, but they also increase the hazards of a system that has already proved a notorious source of aircraft trouble...
...through the plane are details that cause cold shudders as well as admiration. Titanium and stainless steel skins are "sculptured" chemically, sometimes to a thinness of .007 in. to save ounces of weight. Electric motors run at a temperature that would bake a cake.
