...death. Some flameouts simply sink into depression, others start to drink heavily. In any event, their work and their careers suffer. >The Climacteric Man. Executives in their late 40s or early 50s often begin to perform sloppily in jobs they did well for years. Boredom is one reason. Paul Armer, director of Stanford's computation center, explains another reason with his Paul Principle:* "Individuals often become incompetent at a level at which they once performed quite adequately." The executive may feel, rightly or wrongly, that he is undereducated, that he cannot keep up with the complexities of modern business...
...trucks and tanks, while the Mitla Pass (a strategic pass through the mountains of Western Sinai near the Suez Canal) appears to be an enormous junk-heap of scrap metal. Although some of the damage to the seven Egyptian divisions stationed in the Sinai came from three Israeli armer divisions, most of it was the work of the superb Israeli Air Force which dominated the skies after catching some 450 assorted planes (most of them on the ground) in the first tow days of fighting.

Bressler, who might be called a coloratura tenor, apparently found no difficulty in notes an octave above middle C; lower, however, his voice was so mobile that it seemed thin at any one instant. Dunn chose slightly strange tempos in the closing work, Brandenburg Concerto No. 5: the second movement was faster, the third slower than usual...
...many posters as the wall-space will allow describe their creators as 'glorious'" terrible," or "magnificent." More conservative signs name candidates as "Infallible," and "honest." In most cases appropriate illustrations-of fertile rabbits, plump nudes, and fearless mights in armer-accompany the claims...
