Born Again
In 1974 Charles W. Colson pleaded guilty to Watergate-related offenses and, after a tumultuous investigation, served seven months in prison. In his search for meaning and purpose in the face of the Watergate scandal, Colson penned Born Again. This unforgettable memoir shows a man who, seeking fulfillment in success and power, found it, paradoxically, in national disgrace and prison. In more than three decades since its initial publication, Born Again has brought hope and encouragement to millions. This remarkable story of new life continues to influence lives around the world. This expanded edition includes a brand-new introduction and a new epilogue by Colson, recounting the writing of his bestselling book and detailing some of the ways his background and ministry have brought hope and encouragement to so many.
From the President
Gathers memos sent by the Nixon administration during the period of 1969-1973, and shows the inner workings of his White House staff.

Watergate was a cataclysm- the reverberations rocked the American establishment to its core. Nixon fell from power and along with him a number of his cronies and partners in crime. Charles Colson was one of the most notorious.

Nixon's White House is perhaps best remembered for the growth in the size of the staff, which operated under the supposed iron fist of H. R. Haldeman. But more important than size and management style to t...

Rail Test to Evaluate Equilibrium in Low-level Wideband Noise
Psychomotor performance on a rail test was measured during free-field exposure to wideband noise at an overall level of 120 dB re 0.0002 dyne per square centimeter. Subjects wore various combinations of ear protectors to obtain experimental conditions of: (1) sound pressure levels equal in both ear canals (balanced condition) and (2) sound pressure level greater in one ear canal than in the other (unbalanced condition). Man's ability to maintain his equilibrium was adversely affected by the unbalanced noise condition. The rail test may be a useful measure of psychomotor performance in intense noise. Future research will be directed to rail test performance in exposure conditions higher than those employed in this study. (Author).
