Appropriately, the reporter who interviewed Weinstein for this week's story was Senior Correspondent James Bell, who covered the Hiss trials for TIME. "I had spent all of 1948 on the campaign trail with Harold Stassen, Harry Truman, Earl Warren and Tom Dewey," recalls Bell. "I was the only member of the Washington bureau who was totally ignorant of the case, and I felt none of the emotion that appeared to grip my colleagues who had covered the Hiss story on Capitol Hill. It was precisely for that reason that I was picked to report the trial." For TIME...
...Justice Department probers promptly announced that Bell and Carter were cleared of any charge of obstruction of justice in the affair. But the Republican partisans on Capitol Hill had no intention of letting the Administration off so easily. Thundered Utah's Orrin Hatch: "That two-day whitewash [the Justice Department's inquiry] isn't going to satisfy anybody!" O'Neill fumed that Marston was "a Republican political animal" who took office "with viciousness in his heart and for only one reason-to get Democrats." In response, Delaware G.O.P. Congressman Thomas Evans pointed out that Marston...
...Congress last week when the Senate Banking Committee unexpectedly delayed confirmation of G. William Miller, chief of Textron Inc., to succeed Arthur Burns as chairman of the Federal Reserve Board. The reason: to give the committee time to investigate an assertion by Chairman William Proxmire that a Textron subsidiary, Bell Helicopter, made a $2.9 million payment to an Iranian sales agency, Air Taxi, that was secretly owned by General Mohammed Khatemi, the Shah's brother-in-law and commander of the Iranian air force (he died in 1975). Miller denies that he ever heard of the general. He said...
...however, is coming from foreign companies. In the U.S., only Polaroid, with its instant cameras and film, remains a strong competitor of Kodak's in the amateur camera and film market. GAF abandoned that business last year because, said Chairman Jesse Werner, "it has become impossible to compete." Bell & Howell, which reached an out-of-court settlement of an antimonopoly suit against Kodak, has incurred losses in its consumer photo business since 1974 and has joined forces with two Japanese firms to market their products...
...after the Marconis and the Bell people and the Hertzes and the Maxwells raised their dust, and radiowaves with ultrahigh, superhigh or extremely high frequencies--those ranging in wavelength from 100 centimeters to a millimeter--became known as microwaves. These "microwaves" are very intense concentrations, "short-waves" of electromagnetic radiation focused into an intense beam. They travel through matter, can be reflected by electrical conductors, and can be directed accurately. Thus, microwaves revolutionized communication. They are responsible for television communications, radio (especially FM) broadcasts, CB radio, satellite communication, radar, sonar, and electric garage-door openers...
