The F3H remained underpowered throughout its career, so much so that it was tagged by fleet pilots as the "lead sled." ; 11 X 0.25 X 8.5 inches; 50 pages .

The author compares the philosophies of Quine and Wittgenstein, seeing how their holistic views of the world coincide. She argues that though they are allied in their sceptism about the possibilities for the assimilation of semantic and psychological concepts to those of the natural sciences and while they are both hostile to a Platonist conception of meaning, they are divided in their views, because of their different interpretations of holism.
