The appointment of U Thant of Burma as the U.N.'s Acting Secretary General -- at this writing, the choice appears to be certain -- offers further proof that in politics it is more important to have no influential enemies than to have influential friends.

With the neutralists maintaining pressure for one of their own to succeed Mr. Hammarskjold, U Thant emerged as the only possible candidate unlikely to be waylaid by a veto.

U Thant of course, will hold office until the spring of 1963, when Mr. Hammarskjold's term would have come to an end.

the West may or not remain satisfied with the kind of neutralism that U Thant represents.

If Af are the projections associated with the primary decomposition of T, then each Af is a polynomial in T, and accordingly if a linear operator U commutes with T then U commutes with each of the Af, i.e., each subspace Af is invariant under U.

Near Q, both curves can be represented by analytic functions of U.

In a neighborhood of Q the difference between these functions is also a single-valued, analytic function of U.

The restrained gyro-stabilized platform with reasonable response characteristics operates with an approximate equation of motion, neglecting transient effects, as follows: Af where U is a torque applied about the output axis of the controlling gyro.

Lincoln's assassination was the first assassination of a U. S. president and sent the nation into mourning.

Lincoln has been consistently ranked by scholars and the public as one of the three greatest U. S. presidents.

In 1846, Lincoln was elected to the U. S. House of Representatives, where he served one two-year term.

Lincoln also supported the Wilmot Proviso, which, if it had been adopted, would have banned slavery in any U. S. territory won from Mexico.

Lincoln disapproved of slavery, and the spread of slavery to new U. S. territory in the west.

Douglas ' provision, which Lincoln opposed, specified settlers had the right to determine locally whether to allow slavery in new U. S. territory, rather than have such a decision restricted by the national Congress.

In late 1854, Lincoln ran as a Whig for the U. S. Senate seat from Illinois.

After the state Republican party convention nominated him for the U. S. Senate in 1858, Lincoln delivered his House Divided Speech, drawing on: " A house divided against itself cannot stand.

The stage was then set for the campaign for statewide election of the Illinois legislature which would, in turn, select Lincoln or Douglas as its U. S. senator.

Douglas said that Lincoln was defying the authority of the U. S. Supreme Court and the Dred Scott decision.

The U. S. Navy illegally intercepted a British merchant ship the Trent on the high seas and seized two Confederate envoys ; Britain protested vehemently while the U. S. cheered.

He argued before and during his election that the eventual extinction of slavery would result from preventing its expansion into new U. S. territory.

Anthropologists ' involvement with the U. S. government, in particular, has caused bitter controversy within the discipline.

Austin is the capital of the U. S. state of Texas.

Representatives from the agency visit the island on average once every two years, often coordinating transportation with amateur radio operators or the U. S. Coast Guard to defray the high cost of logistical support required to visit this remote atoll.

The operators complied with Postel's instructions, thus dividing control of Internet naming between the non-government operators with IANA and the 4 remaining U. S. Government roots at NASA, DoD, and BRL with NSI.

In the U. S., Congress intervened with a royalty structure that was expensive to small independent operators, but easier than the RIAA's standard scale.

Due to the efforts of Merrill Swan, W6AEE, of the " The RTTY Society of Southern California " publisher of RTTY and Wayne Green, W2NSD, of CQ Magazine, Amateur Radio operators successfully petitioned the U. S. Federal Communications Commission ( FCC ) to amend Part 12 of the Regulations, which was effective on February 20, 1953.

In U. S. common carrier telephony service, a toll center designated Class 4C is an office where assistance in completing incoming calls is provided in addition to other traffic ; a toll center designated Class 4P is an office where operators handle only outbound calls, or where switching is performed without operator assistance.

In late January and February plans were drawn up to assault the Shahi-Kot Valley using Afghan military forces ( AMF ) advised and assisted by U. S. special operators.

However many regional telephone service operators have no interconnect agreement with Iridium or other satellite networks and users on these networks need to call reversed charge to a U. S .- based number.

Black operators would act as shills to frame Cuba and thereby fool the U. S. population into carrying out the intended objective, the removal of Fidel Castro by military force and installation of a pro U. S. regime in Cuba.

On March 1945, American liberation forces of the U. S.

The oil delivered to the reserve is " royalty-in-kind " oil — royalties owed to the U. S. government by operators who acquire leases on the federally owned Outer Continental Shelf in the Gulf of Mexico.

The Germans handed in messages to the U. S. embassy in Berlin, which were relayed to the embassy in Denmark and then to the U. S. by American operators.

In 1992, VMA members conducted an “ Information Week Tour of the U. S .”, sharing ideas with major telecom operators.

This being done for each group element ( a, L ), we get a family of unitary or antiunitary operators U ( a, L ) on our Hilbert space, such that the ray Ψ transformed by ( a, L ) is the same as the ray containing U ( a, L ) ψ.

We denote the unitary operators we get by U ( a, A ), and these give us a continuous, unitary and true representation in that the collection of U ( a, A ) obey the group law of the inhomogeneous SL ( 2, C ).
