...Breed. Mechanization has increased medical instrumentation sales to an estimated $300 million this year, compared with two-thirds that amount in 1964. But the fantastic growth has not been without its problems. "A lot of these machines are relatively useless," complains Dr. John Knowles, director of Massachusetts General Hospital. "And they are pushing up costs astronomically, because people are beginning to feel they have to step into a machine to get the best treatment." Taking the opposite view, Robert Allen, editor of the Journal of the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation, argues that "doctors simply...
Boatman's advice is slowly being followed. In 1960, few, if any, medical schools offered more than a smattering of instruction in medical technology. Now a dozen institutions are reaching for help from nearby technical schools. And they are training a whole new breed of surgeons. Working along with engineers and scientists, says Dr. Boatman, these men will develop new techniques-for heart trouble, strokes, cancer-the list is endless...
...problems of space law, while most ominous when they touch upon the military, nonetheless are so broad that space lawyers-a new but growing breed of specialists-have hardly begun to consider their ramifications. What happens, for example, if a civilian British scientist should kill an American or a Russian astronaut on the moon? Who would arrest whom, and what court of what country would have jurisdiction? Despite the fact that nations have forsworn territorial rights on celestial bodies, questions of property rights are bound to arise when exploration and interplanetary travel increase. The French have already raised one question...
Yellow Birds. Typical of the breed-and to many the hottest pilot-is U.S. Air Force Major James Kasler, 40, of Indianapolis, who is dubbed by his wingmates a "one-man Air Force." A World War II tail gunner and six-kill ace in Korea, Kasler in five months of flying missions over the North has limped home four times with his F-105 riddled by flak or MIGs, has seen 30 SAM missiles ("They're long, very slender and a dirty-yellow color") zoom up in his vicinity, tangled in the longest dogfight with MIGs thus...
...Answer Is Power. As with the Biblical Jesus, who is descended from both the Divine and the House of David, Goat-Boy is given both mystical origin through WESCAC and natural origin from a breed of Toggenburger goats on the campus animal farm. His mother, Virginia R. Hector, the chancellor's chaste daughter who works in the WESCAC programming room, falls into a trance before the machine and somehow is delivered of the goat-child. He is marked by a pair of horns. The goatherd, a disgraced Moishian (Jewish) professor, is cleared of suspicion...
