Anthropologist Margaret Mead goes further. In her view, the advent of the atomic bomb in 1945 split humanity into rival camps: the old are "immigrants" in a world they control but do not understand; the young are natives but still lack power. United by instant communications that dramatize crises everywhere, the new youth international views its elders as irresponsible?insensitive to global dangers like nuclear holocaust. In this situation, Miss Mead argues that much of the world is on the verge of a "prefigurative" culture in which "the young, free to act on their own initiative, can lead the elders...
Faubus, who before the advent of George Wallace and Sen. Strom Thurmond was the premier symbol of Southern racial segregation, retired in 1966 to manage Dogpatch, U. S. A., and to divorce his wife for a woman 30 years his junior...
...moment, the Soviets are mounting a large-scale mercy airlift to earthquake-struck Peru. Sixty-five flights will be made in all, many by the giant An-22, which, until the advent of the U.S.'s Lockheed C-5A last year, was the world's largest plane.

Before the advent of the snow machine, Joe used dog teams. But they were a problem. You had to feed them. Prior to statehood, which brought tight restrictions on fishing, Delia and a partner fed their dogs on salmon fished from the Skwentna River and Eight-Mile Creek.

Then they stopped us from usin' nets, and then they...
Unfortunately, the advent of a new weapons system complicates the outlook for a broader agreement. Even as the negotiators talked in Vienna, the U.S. was installing Minuteman III and Poseidon missiles that carry formidable MIRVs (multiple independently targeted re-entry vehicles). Composed of a cluster of three or more nuclear warheads that are aimed separately at widely scattered objectives, MIRVs greatly increase the destructive scope of a single missile. They also introduce an extremely difficult factor into SALT. While the U.S. and Soviet Union can effectively check on the number of the other's ICBMs with...
