...significance of choosing a particular instrument of social change--revolution, the ballot, or non-violent resistance for example--lends itself to more than a single explanation. One can interpret non-violent resistance, whether in South Africa, India, or America, in terms of realpolitik; when the other side has all the guns, it is convenient and wise to be non-violent. Or there is a moral explanation: the resisters regard violence as evil, under all circumstances. They feel that the dignity of man must be maintained even, or perhaps especially, in protest movements. And one can note that religion...
...Republican who inspires a thump of political kinship in the hearts of Virginia Democrats is Arizona's deep-dyed conservative. Senator Barry Goldwater. On a raid into the Old Dominion last week, Goldwater publicly assured Virginians that they could interpret the silence of their own Democratic patriarch, Senator Harry Flood Byrd, 73. about the Kennedy-Johnson ticket as "sufficient instruction'' to vote for Nixon-Lodge. In rebuttal, Virginia's Governor J. Lindsay Almond, sometime Byrdman who has gradually set up a separate camp of his own, spoke up for Jack Kennedy and seized the chance...

Frankfurter insists he has been thoroughly consistent in his approach throughout his long life; it is the conservatives and liberals who have been repeatedly out of step...
...even the dissidents agree that the day is not too far off when man will have a valid function in space. As instrumented spacecraft get more and more sophisticated, it becomes more and more difficult to transmit, record, digest and interpret their food of raw data. The best solution at present is to put small computers in the spacecraft. One kind, called a "Tele-bit," translates the data from the instruments into figures that are sufficiently simple to send over the transmitter and can go directly into a big ground computer. But when spacecraft begin to work at such distances...
