Oppenheimer also showed how the quantum phenomena and the Newtonian description of physics, though mutually exclusive, are both useful and essentially correct...
From this seemingly odd coincidence, scientists have developed a theory not only about the formation of the nebulae, but of the formation of the elements as well. Oppenheimer used this as a case in which analogy led to the discovery of "a code of identity" between seemingly unrelated phenomena...
...telling the doleful tale of the Drones, Keats examines many aspects of the new phenomena of these sprawling subdivisions. He finds little that is cheery.

Lured on by "no money down" advertising, married veterans proceeded to burden themselves with jerry-built houses and crushing mortgages, the wheels of credit began to grind, and the John and Mary Drones of America were trapped...
Such sections would serve a twofold purpose. Those able to cope with the math involved would no longer be forced to waste their time in section while instructors laboriously avoid math in their explanations of economics Phenomena or expound mathematical fundamentals. Time saved by the use of math could be spent on other phases of the course. In addition, such sections would tend to be more theoretical, thus avoiding an alternative approach to the subject for those interested...
Such occult phenomena, Wiesinger contends, are caused by a part of the soul behaving with the characteristics of a pure spirit-a mode of action which "is a vestigial remnant of the preternatural powers with which our first parents were endowed before the Fall." One of the characteristics of a pure spirit is that its knowledge does not come through sense perception, but intuitively and at will. Hence the telepathic and clairvoyant abilities of certain individuals in a state, says Wiesinger, of partial liberation from the body. Conversely, the partly liberated soul may be that of a dead person bound...
