...Administrative Board felt very strongly about is the difference between dissent and even vigorous dissent and use of force on another individual. That was the basic feeling. As we began to try to figure out what action might be appropriate, it seemed to us that it was important to weigh the educational considerations, gains that might accrue from moderate but severe action. I suppose in a sense we were saying we'd like to keep the students here and talk to them some more...
...effective is the U.S.'s monthold choke-and-destroy bombing strategy? U.S. air experts pointed to the silent cannon facing Con Thien as one example. The artillery shells that the Communists had been firing at the Marines weigh about 21 Ibs. to 107 Ibs. apiece.

...inhabitants in pre-recorded history developed a civilization with advanced knowledge of astronomy and engineering, great road-building ability, a written language.

Informers, undercover operators, blackmailers, and often corrupt enforcement authorities have opportunities far more dangerous than in the suppression...
...second inning Yastrzemski muffed a bouncing single. Another run scored. Scott was a clown, but Yastrzemski was everything. By itself the error meant little--only a run. But one had to weigh its physic consequences, its value as a clue thrown out by fortune. Working backwards from the outcome one can always discover the clues. The problem was to work forwards--isolate the clues, determine their value, chart their relationships, and conclude the outcome in advance...
