...funniest episodes, Art Carney demonstrates the simplest way to get away from a wife (Lucille Ball) for an evening with a mistress. He criticizes her cooking ("Pot roast? It tasted more like the pot than the roast!"), waits for her counterattack, then, acting wounded, stomps into the night on the town.

The British...
...Force. Meinke immediately grasped Turner's concept, volunteered to work on it, and was awarded an Air Force contract. Now, after four years of mathematical analysis and laboratory work, he has finally built several prototype models of the mini-antennas that Turner visualized. The simplest of Meinke's devices, which the Air Force calls Subminiature Integrated Antennas (SIA), consists of three stubby, pencil-sized arms, each at tached to one of the three terminals of a transistor. Combined with the electrical properties of capacitance, inductance and resistance in the antenna arms, the transistor forms a circuit that...
...possess an absolute majority, he ruled with an iron patriarchal hand, guided by a deep Christian faith, a humanist's conviction in the Tightness of democratic ways and a shrewd political gift for manipulating men. He thought out his strategies well in advance, reducing alternatives to their simplest dimensions, and he dealt with problems according to his maxim that "a thick skin is a gift from God." When the German public grumbled about the slowness of Allied decontrol, he replied: "Who do you think...
