Holloran, an architect for the firm of Shepley, Bullfinch, Richardson & Abbot; and Henry J. Muller, Deputy Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds...
...Beep Code. The famed beeps have varied in length, frequency and spacing. These variations concealed in code the observations of the satellite's instruments. So far, only the Russians can have gained much scientific information from the satellite, but the rest of the world is beginning to catch up. Britain's 250-ft. radiotelescope at Jodrell Bank turned itself into an impromptu radar and pinpointed the satellite or its carrier rocket over Britain. As the slowly shifting orbit carried Sputnik over the east coast of the U.S., hundreds of early risers in New England saw the sunlit speck...
...pinpoint the flying satellite within a few feet of distance and a few milliseconds of time. Then its orbit can be tracked with enough precision to observe the effect of variations in the earth's gravitation. The satellite's radio signals (even without the key of the code) will be useful in studying the electrified layers in the upper atmosphere. Non-Russian scientists may even learn a little about the density of the air at orbit altitude, by clocking how fast the satellite loses energy...
...better known as Confucius, by watching schoolgirls in ivory-colored costumes perform ceremonial dances, cheering wildly at basketball games, and listening with hushed attention to speeches by black-turbaned, silk-robed village scholars. Throughout the country citizens were urged to pay even more attention to the ancient Confucian code of ethics.

Parents who were themselves raised by a set code will tend to rear their children the same way. They should go ahead and do so with no qualms of conscience, advises the 1957 Spock, though they must make due allowance for the more relaxed atmosphere in families around them. They must not be overharsh but they have a right to get cross and spank the little darling when he has deliberately provoked anger-as he often does. What is more, he wants (at least unconsciously) to be disciplined and made to behave responsibly: "By keeping children on the right track...
