...rich fighting poverty." Studies of water and air pollution are also big this year, as is any application of computers to human affairs (at Stanford alone there are seven major projects in computer-assisted teaching). There is always plenty of money available from almost any foundation for cardiac disease and cancer research. Although the social sciences get less than 3% of federal research money, psychological studies are beginning to get more help...
...effort many times. The monitoring devices needed to keep track of astronauts' physical condition have now been adapted for U.S. hospitals, enabling a single nurse to keep track of the condition of many patients perhaps half a mile of corridors away. Today, as a result of space advances, cardiac patients may wear internally implanted electronic pacemakers. Doctors are talking confidently of birth control without pills or intrauterine devices as they experiment with a space-perfected system for monitoring bodily temperature. Refined by aerospace engineers, lasers are finding more and more uses in surgery. Indeed, a whole new breed...

Then he fell heavily to the floor, pulling the lectern over on his chest. He was taken to a hospital, suffering from cardiac arrest, and lay in a deep coma until his death last week.

The careful placing and size of an electrical charge is the key to Peri-Start, a machine built on the principle of the cardiac pacemaker. It electronically stimulates the muscles of bladder and colon and controls elimination in a paralyzed patient. In the future, the same technique may well prove practical for other muscles...
