...Airway Communion. Baptist Freed, who has gathered his knowledge of Russian hearts and souls firsthand in three extended trips through the Soviet Union during the past five years, finds the Russian response heartening. Even in the depths of Siberia he found families who listened regularly to Trans World broadcasts. Appreciative letters arrive each week from the U.S.S.R. A recent sample: "Peace unto you, our dear friends. We give thanks to our Lord for the privilege he gives us of listening to the loving Word over the radio. We are Christians living here in Moscow. The reception is excellent. We take...

Relaxed from a tranquilizer, the 65-year-old woman, an abdominal cancer victim, lay quietly on an operating table in the University of Mississippi's Medical Center. Anesthesiologist Leonard Fabian opened her mouth, sprayed a local anesthetic on her throat, inserted an "airway tube" to ensure unobstructed breathing. Under the watchful eye of Surgeon James Hardy, Dr. Fabian attached a tiny electrode to each of the woman's temples. At his signal, a technician turned a control on the face of a small box from which thin wires trailed out to the electrodes. Within 60 seconds the woman...

From Albany west to Corning, thence on to Niagara Falls, then the length of the state to Manhattan-630 airway miles in all-whizzed New York's Governor Nelson Rockefeller last week, shaking hands, slapping backs, issuing a tireless stream of enthusiastic comment: "Great . . . Isn't this fun . . . Wonderfully exciting ..." Cried he, spotting a three-year-old girl at Niagara Falls: "Hi, sweetie pie. I wish I had your freckles." Promised he, speaking at a Republican State Committee dinner in Manhattan's Waldorf-Astoria hotel: the same zestful formula that got him elected Governor last fall "will...

...abilities cannot be built into a machine from the outset, said Dr. Gill. The machine would have to learn them by long observation and training. The music-composing machine might learn-by-doing right from the start, but an "untrained" machine should not be put in charge of an airway system or operating room. It must first be permitted to watch human surgeons or traffic controllers. When it reached the human level of experience and intelligence, it could take over.
