Hard line

It took a long time before everyone accepted the reality of quasicrystallinity. No less a celebrity than Linus Pauling took a hard line, and published a paper in Nature (Pauling 1985) insisting, erroneously as was finally proved some time later, that the pattern was caused by an array of minute crystals in twinned arrangement. 

On July 31, the Board formally rejected Hesse s recommendation on mixtures. This was yet another indication of a growing rift between Wiley s hard line attitude and Wilson and McCabe s more cautious approach (24). 

During the 1920s, enforcement of prohibition of alcohol surpassed that of narcotics by the Harrison Act. However, despite disparate resources, the smaller Narcotic Division successfully closed 44 opiate-dispensing clinics by 1923. This hard-line attitude reflected the prevailing public mood of the day that narcotic maintenance served only to contribute to or create a menacing personality. Not much has changed in contemporary society. 

SEALs do not represent hard lines between safe and unsafe concentrations. If a SEAL is exceeded, some people should expect to be adversely affected. 

Standing behind Scarsdale as he continued his inpronptu press conference, I noticed that the ranks of his hard-line parishioners had been swelled by new converts. The Ikes ofLee and Marjory GoodchiM and Judith Sutton and her son Rupert had been joined by many less regular church-goers. They looked on like a role, approving chorus as the reverend raised his voice to drive home his point to the cameras. 

However, with the overthrowing of the regime of De Witt and the installation of stadtholder Willem iii in 1672, the hard-line Calvinists became more influential and the Cartesians were out of favour. What happened was that the Cartesians under the existing pressure, attacked radical Cartesians and Spino-zists in order to turn away the anger of the orthodox Calvinists. Spinoza complains about this in a letter to Oldenburg in September 1675. 

Here Spinoza, like the Cartesians, can be seen as a victim of the intolerance of the hard-line Calvinists. The Voetians had to accept, because of the law, that dissenting churches had the freedom to practice their beliefs and that Roman Catholic services, as long as attendances were not too large, could still be held... 

These new developments in psychiatry and the neurosdences have been hard to ignore. Many formerly hard-line psychotherapists have been won over by the flood of research findings and their personal experiences in treating people with psychoactive drugs. 

Anslinger developed this hard-line attitude toward drag users during his youth and early career in the Treasury Department. Bom in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in 1892, he spent his early years attending school and working summers for the Pennsylvania Railroad as an assistant to the railway pohce. He says that he first became alerted to the evils of narcotics when a friend of his, a choirboy, "died from smoking opium."... 

Once you have a general idea how much variation occurs over a period of time, replace the coil of plastic tubing with a coil of stainless steel tubing with hard line valves that will give different volumes as needed. 

From what is known about the norm temperatures, it becomes clear which types of lines will be optimally excited in a plasma of a given temperature, electron pressure and gas composition, and the norm temperatures thus give important indications for line selection in a source of a given temperature. Atom lines often have their norm temperatures below 4000 K, especially when the analyte dilution in the plasma is high, whereas ion lines often reach 10000 K. Both types of lines are often denoted as soft and hard lines, respectively. 

In the case of Nicholas Eymerich, we have seen how an intransigent appeal to the irreligious character of alchemy coalesced in the late fourteenth century with a hard-line assertion that natural and artificial products were... 

Martinus Del Rio, and the writers in the Coimbran College did not take a hard-line position on alchemical transmutation. Pereira, for example, bluntly affirms that the entire enterprise of finding a priori arguments against alchemy is futile. 

Nevertheless, the campaign for rearmament continued. The United States had frightened and moralised herself into throwing away a vital deterrent , as one hard line politician had it.33 Simply by negotiating the Soviets appear to have tied US hands on chemical weapons ,34 wrote a Chemical Corps officer in 1979. He went on to predict that not having chemical weapons made nuclear war more likely some day a President of the United States might have to choose between acceptance of defeat or nuclear war .33... 

The 12,000 Madrasses in Pakistan teach thousands of children to hate America and Israel. The army is divided between the Western oriented, who have often attended schools in the United States, and hard-line Islamists. General Hamid Gul hates America with a passion, and is an Islamic extremist and strategic adviser to the six political religious parties that govern two of Pakistan s four provinces. 

This is perhaps not surprising, since Rusk was the most consistently hard-line of high-level officials in terms of China policy. 

Is such a hard line approach impractical SUBSAFE, the US. nuclear submarine safety program established after the Thresher loss, described in chapter 14, has not allowed waiving the SUBSAFE safety requirements for more than forty-five years, with one exception. In 1967, four years after SUBSAFE was established, SUBSAFE requirements for one submarine were waived in order to satisfy pressing Navy performance goals. That submarine and its crew were lost less than a year later. The same mistake has not been made again.
