...purpose of the Project is the development of "on-line" computer capabilities for social science. Under the old "batch processing" method, the user would have to wait several hours or days for results from a computer. But "on-line" (or "interactive" or "time-sharing") computing means that many users can almost simultaneously obtain immediate results. To the social scientist, on-line computing enables formulation of each question based on the computer's answer to the previous question. The advantages of such a method for military decision-makers especially in a crisis situation, are evident. Researchers working under the Project...

I, for one, would not want to rely on a majority vote of the Crimson editorial board or the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. If history shows too many instances when the bad ideas gained the upper hand, it's because...
...Solicitor, will file a request in Middlesex Superior Court on Tuesday to have the suit thrown out for lack of legitimate grounds. Cronin said that the plaintiffs not only must show that the law was broken but also that the election results would have been substantially different if another method of voting had been used...
