...Tests. Students at the school do not have to fuss with the pin-pricking routines of tests and homework. There are no credits and no grades. Says Program Director Douglas Carter, 33: "This type of student will dig into things for himself." Some noted guest lecturers will spur the digging. Last week Laura Fermi, widow of Atomic Physicist Enrico Fermi, began lecturing on science for ten days. She will be followed by Novelist Betty Smith (A Tree Grows in Brooklyn), Playwright Paul Green and Secretary of Commerce Luther Hodges. A symphony orchestra, string ensemble, ballet and drama groups are already...
...cities. Captured Red documents indicate that they have given up hope of a swift conquest, now aim merely, as the guerrillas' North Vietnamese Boss Ho Chi Minh said recently, "to wait out the Americans." The South Vietnamese government and its 14,000 U.S. military "advisers" pin their hopes on an integrated, long-term plan that aims at isolating and driving out the Viet Cong. Basic element of the government's battle plan is to resettle almost the entire rural population in some 12,000 "strategic hamlets...

Playing in spite of his injured back, Gunnoe added two assists and kept the offense moving with his pin-point passing...
...heart of the instrument is a tiny square "thermistor," one-tenth of a millimeter on a side, small than a pin head, and attached to two hairlike platinum wires. The electrical resistance of the thermistor changes in response to tiny fluctuations in temperature. Special filters allow only a very narrow band of the infrared, between eight and 14 microns, to fall on the thermistor. The filter rejects the shorter infrared waves omitted by the sun and reflected by the moon. The earth's atmosphere, where water vapor, ozone and carbon dioxide absorb other portions of the infrared, also acts...
