...laws for themselves, Beberman's students solve similar problems until the concept involved becomes clear. On the second day, they work at such disarming exercises as stating whether it is true that __ +984 = 984+793. The point is to discover that adding numerals in varying orders does not affect the sum. Later they watch a movie projector running backward and forward, extract the rules of positive and negative multiplication. Then they see two unpunctuated signs : "Slow Children at Play" and "Save Rags and Waste Paper," a good case for algebraic brackets and parentheses. It takes time, concedes Beberman...

The U.S. should end all detectable (aboveground) nuclear tests, but "we should resume underground testing, for its results can vitally affect both offensive and defensive capabilities as well as the cleanliness of such weapons . . . Simple disarmament can invite aggression, as Nazi and Communist aggression have brutally taught Western democracies...
...train carried enough technical gear to stock a sophisticated physics laboratory. To test how the jolts, noises and vibrations of railroad travel will affect the warheaded Minuteman, sensitive oscilloscopes and oscillographs registered every rock and wriggle. Loudspeakers and telephones linked the communications HQ with the other ten cars (one boxcar that housed a jeep, two tank cars for water and diesel fuel, seven air-conditioned "quarters cars"-including one with stereo set, radio, TV).

Since their ties with the old Duplessis machine were informal at best, they insist that the Liberal upset in Quebec does not really affect the Diefenbaker government's national popularity. All this is true, but Quebec itself-that proud, peculiar and partisan province-was in for a change...
Only when a nation's differences with the U.S. are sustained over a long period do they seem to affect a customer's buying habits. Japanese goods since the war have gained wide U.S. acceptance for quality at a lower price. Guided by U.S. know-how, Japanese manufacturers have gone far to overcome the reputation for shoddiness formerly attached to the "Made in Japan" label. Says an official of Chadwick-Miller Importers Inc. of Boston: "Since the war, we find Japanese quality is excellent, considering price." Besides, points out Seiki Tozaki, president of C. Itoh & Co., a Japanese...
