Constant Energy. By the time the tour was finished, the girls had handled integrated tea party or segregated breakfast with equal aplomb. They had spoken their piece for people who distrusted Catholics ("The Catholic Church," said Eunice, "does not influence Jack in any way except a religious way"), people who were worried about the oil-depletion allowance, who resented Lyndon Johnson's second place on the ticket. Their energy was a source of constant consternation to everyone who tried to keep up with them. They had hardly arrived at the L.B.J. Ranch for a rest before the Kennedy girls...

Many of the middle-class Teheran intellectuals and business men who most heatedly denounced the recent election rigging had not even bothered to vote.

But most important, tne flexible school is a hedge against educational oosolescence. Even the fancy...
...burgeoning field of data processing, involving everything from billing customers to registering book club memberships, the optical scanner is a major, long-awaited breakthrough. The chief limitation of computers-aside from their inability to think except as told-is that they can record and process information only as fast as they are fed it, usually by bored and fallible humans who read the information, then punch it onto cards or tape for the computer. With the optical scanner, which can read up to 96,000 cards per day, the computer-and every paper-laden company-has found a powerful ally...
