...people who daydream about becoming system saboteurs. Author Hatch has helped his story by including a fine short course on the myths and truths about jet planes, their noise and their impact on human beings. One old saw neatly skewered: the aviation industry's contention that man can adjust to any noise level. That is simply medically false. In response to such facts, sufferers of noise pollution can only sound a loud "Hear! Hear...
...effectively those present staff members who leave us in June 1971 to find the best possible jobs. In this cycle of sessions I am interested in the special problems of each department, what each can do to raise additional funds, to use restricted funds for more general purposes, to adjust courses and teaching methods and to eliminate least desirable expenditures in order to achieve higher order priorities...

By comparing their own sound patterns with those of their teacher, the children can adjust both the pitch and volume of their voices and, through practice, learn to speak the words they cannot hear...

To land a project in downtown Montreal, Zeckendorf had to submit a plan...
