Jack walked off alone out the road in the searing midday sun, past Robert Allen's three-room, tarpapered house, toward the field where the other boys were playing ball, thinking of what he would do in order to make Miss Langford have him stay in after school -- because this was the day he had decided when he thought he saw the look in her eyes.

It was also subtly familiar, for it was the odor of the human body, but multiplied innumerable times because of the fact that the aborigines never bathed.

Their writings assume more than dramatic or patriotic interest because of their conviction that the struggle in which they were involved was neither selfish nor parochial but, rather, as Washington in his last wartime circular reminded his fellow countrymen, that `` with our fate will the destiny of unborn millions be involved ''.

Often it is recognized that all the details of the pattern may not be essential to the outcome but, because the pattern was empirically determined and not developed through theoretical understanding, one is never quite certain which behavior elements are effective, and the whole pattern becomes ritualized.

They never troubled themselves about us while we were playing, because the fence formed such a definite boundary and `` Don't go outside the gate '' was a command so impossible of misinterpretation.

They, perhaps, gave the pitch of their position in the preface where it was said that Eisenhower requested that the Commission be administered by the American Assembly of Columbia University, because it was non-partisan.

Normally Hague wasted no words, but now he found himself unable to stop their flow although he knew Kodyke was aware of all he said.

When they reached their neighbor's house, Pamela said a few polite words to Grace and kissed Melissa lightly on the forehead, the impulse prompted by a stray thought -- of the type to which she was frequently subject these days -- that they might never see one another again.

Having persisted too long in deliberate ignorance and denial of the forces that threatened her, Pamela was relieved now to admit their potency and to be taking definite steps toward grappling with them.

Tom Horn was soon back at work, giving his secret employers their money's worth.

I found a trooper once the Apache had spread-eagled on an ant hill, and another time we ran across some teamsters they'd caught, tied upside down on their own wagon wheels over little fires until their brains was exploded right out o' their skulls.

Such ranchers as Coble and Clay and the Bosler brothers carried him on their books as a cowhand even while he was receiving a much larger salary from parties unknown.

The hands and their bosses saw him as a lone knight of the range, waging a dedicated crusade against a lawless new society that was threatening a beloved way of life.

It was as if they could hardly wait to get into their costumes, cover their faces with masks and go adventuring.

The water level was higher than their hubs.

It was a trick they used to try and conceal their identity when they followed trucks to check their speed.

A prototype which fulfills the requirements was developed and thoroughly tested.

The prototype was given to engineer Howard Delman, who refined it, productized it, and then added additional features for Atari's first vector game, Lunar Lander.

A grant application to build a proof of concept prototype was submitted in March 1939 to the Agronomy department which was also interested in speeding up computation for economic and research analysis.

The initial funds were released in September, and the 11-tube prototype was first demonstrated in October, 1939.

A prototype of the full computer was shown to the public for the first time at the Summer Consumer Electronics Show in 1984.

A prototype white helmet was developed for the team prior to the 1974 season but was never worn.

A working prototype of this card was finished.

A working prototype was developed that added a 40MB hard disk.

Tank or " landship " development, originally conducted by the British Navy under the auspices of the Landships Committee was sponsored by the First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill and proceeded through a number of prototypes culminating in the Mark I tank prototype, named Mother.

In its prototype stage, the Atari 5200 was originally called the " Atari Video System X-Advanced Video Computer System ", and was codenamed " Pam " after a female employee at Atari Inc.

Code-named the " Atari 5100 " ( a. k. a. " Atari 5200 Jr ."), only a few fully working prototype 5100s were made before the project was canceled.

" At first I thought, despite everything that I saw with my own eyes, that the Soviet state was a breakthrough into the future, a kind of prototype for all countries ".

A. Panitz's patent, was developed by Mike Miller starting in 1983 and culminated with the first prototype in 1986.

Although the experimental service was publicly available, there were no digital set-top boxes or receivers available on the market which could decode the signal and the service was only presented to the public via BBC demonstrations using prototype receivers.

While his building was still under construction late in 1854, Bunsen suggested certain design principles to the university's mechanic, Peter Desaga, and asked him to construct a prototype.

The word clock ( from the Celtic words clocca and clogan, both meaning " bell "), which gradually supersedes " horologe ", suggests that it was the sound of bells which also characterized the prototype mechanical clocks that appeared during the 13th century in Europe.

This proved indeed practical and a prototype was quickly developed.

* Cybergirl Cybergirl is a cyber replicant prototype 6000, a " cyborg " from a distant planet who ran away to explore the beings she was created after, human beings.

" The prototype was first shown publicly at the Joint Computer Conference in Boston in December 1959.

During construction of the prototype PDP-1, some design work was carried out on a 24-bit PDP-2, and the 36-bit PDP-3.
