When he did leave the hall, about 50 white and Negro students mobbed and rocked his car-with a frightened Wallace inside. No one was hurt, but the protesters dented the car roof and broke off the antenna. Wallace had gone to New Hampshire to drum up publicity for his third-party presidential candidacy, which he hopes to advance in that state's Democratic primary next year. The unruly reception at Dartmouth, besides violating his right to be heard and that of others to listen, only played into his hands by gaining him far more attention than his stock...
Newhouse is just as pleased as Vail. With its circulation of 377,000, the Plain Dealer becomes the biggest paper in his chain of 22 U.S. dailies. As part of the deal, Newhouse also picked up a community TV antenna company, some lakeshore property on Cleveland's west side and the Art Gravure Corp., which prints Sunday supplements...
Perry and his students use only rudimentary devices to listen in on satellites: a 24-ft. dipole antenna strung between two school buildings, a $70 war-surplus radio receiver, a surplus radio-frequency-signal generator, a tape recorder, a small world globe and a desk calculator. To produce an audible tone from the 20-megacycle Cosmos telemetry picked up by their receiver, they combine it with the output of the signal generator...
Even as space-age missiles fostered the development of antimissiles, electronic bugs have already spawned a variety of anti-bugs. Continental's most advanced detector is a highly specialized AM and FM receiver rigged with red and green warning lights and an automatically rotating antenna. In a bugged room, its circuits will lock on to offending transmitters, its warning lights will blink and its antenna will point at the bug. Another detector resembles a small transistor radio, but the high-pitched whine from its speaker dies down as its whip antenna is swept toward a hidden bug. For those...

At Borombinam Mansion, a yellow stucco building where the Johnsons were put up inside the mile-square Grand Palace compound built by the founders of Thailand's Chakri dynasty two centuries ago, the U.S. was allowed to erect a giant antenna for the President's worldwide communications; normally, the Thais are reluctant to permit structures to soar higher than their ubiquitous Buddhist temples. When Johnson choppered into the Royal Plaza near Chitra-lada Palace for his audience with King Bhumibol Adulyadej and the lovely Queen Sirikit, he was allowed...
