Thus when it came to launching the Ohio, the first of the Trident A-subs, at Electric Boat's Groton yard, the toughest thing Glenn said was, "Verification must be better defined ... or we risk having this vital treaty disapproved [by the Senate] or sent back to the President for further directed negotiating...
...hell with spinach. For the venturesome home gardener, there is a new sweet pepper, Dutch Treat, whose pungent fruits progress from yellow to orange to red and are edible at all stages; it comes, naturally, from Holland.

Young asked, "Why are you doing this?" The student was crying as he seized Young, and said simply, "I've got to, I've got to." The movement countered establishment codes with...
There were a couple of years, during the peak rush on professional schools, when the only radicals around were those sad-looking members of the Spartacus Youth League hawking the Worker's Vanguard outside the north gates of the Yard. That's changed. Students are again taking interest in the morality of the Corporation, the system in which they will work, and the place of individuals within that system.
