Right Is Wrong. Fact is that since the war, Japan's intellectuals have been gripped in a sort of reverse McCarthyism; no Japanese artist, poet, professor or painter dares to be labeled a "rightist." Most a're socialists, and they pride themselves on being "agin' the government." They companionably join Communists in a bewildering array of organizations with names like Youth and Student Struggle Council, Committee for Freedom of Expression, National Conference for Reopening of Japan-China Relations. They provide the intellectual leadership for such huge outfits as Nikkyoso, the 600,000-strong teachers union; Zengakuren...
...comedy turns on a redoubtable ironic notion: the rise of an organization man is presented as a sort of rogue's progress. The hero (Lemmon) is just another night-school diploma in the personnel files of a big insurance company until the fateful day when it dawns on him that if his own virtues are not enough, other people's vices might help.

...computers in the spacecraft. One kind, called a "Tele-bit," translates the data from the instruments into figures that are sufficiently simple to send over the transmitter and can go directly into a big ground computer. But when spacecraft begin to work at such distances as Mars, even this sort of wizardry becomes cumbersome. Frorn as far away as Mars, it requires a giant transmitter to send back one yes or no answer per second to a question. Explains Van Allen: "Instead of sending a yes answer in a second, you may have to stretch it out over a minute...
...HAVING learned the wisdom of caring for its workers' physical welfare, U.S. industry is now debating a new question: Should it also concern itself with their mental health? Once, a worker's emotional state was considered strictly his own business, like the sort of food he ate. But in recent years, many a corporation has recognized a close relationship between the worker's mental state and his performance on the job. Many businessmen are coming to believe that it is only "practical humanitarianism" to try to increase efficiency by improving employees' mental health...
