...open-book and take-home systems share the important feature of synthesis--a situation in which the student, with permission to consult his sources, must still draw together his material and produce a comprehensive essay. A pre-assigned topic assumes that, even with foreknowledge, the assignment is sufficiently difficult to demand creative thought while allowing a student to shape and direct his pre-exam studying. This system simply gives more time to the summary work, spreading the synthesis over weeks instead of 180 minutes...
...Miss Nilsson's enormously powerful voice is superbly controlled and especially well-suited to Isolde's demanding music. In fact, many musicians have cited her bright, clear soprano as more appropriate even than Flagstad's to the role. Irving Kolodin, the musical pundit of the Saturday Review, added his share to the heroine-worship of Nilsson, now the fashion among New York critics, by pointing out her superb acting and imposing stage deportment. All in all, one can find few flaws in her tempestuous, queenly Isolde. Though one might complain about her occasional tendency to sing sharp, the fact remains...
...industry to regain its strength and avoid costly duplication of planes and missiles. What made de Havilland, also sought as a partner by Vickers-Armstrongs, so attractive is the fact that it manufactures the Comet, Britain's only commercial pure jet, and has a major share of Britain's missile industry.

...tough task of explaining why it had to shut down two old bakeries, build a new highly automated one in Chicago. It set up a scale model, invited comment from employees on how to make the plant better. Soon after the new plant began operating, Nabisco's share of the market so expanded that employment rose to 2,400, a third more than the two old plants combined. Says a union official: "The company has to improve if it is going to stay competitive, and automation is the only way it can be done. Besides, a short man used...
...employment. To blame all labor saving on machinery, said Bright, is "gross oversimplification." More and more managers are beginning to realize that in all great social changes, methods are almost as important as goals. Says International Business Machines' T. J. Watson Jr.: "An employee who has invested a share of his work life in a company's business and who has performed competently in his job is entitled to every consideration we can give him should he find himself affected by technological advance." Once that is clearly understood, the boulders blocking management's automative path will turn...
