...signal came in strong, was amplified by a trailerful of electronic apparatus (made for the purpose by Bendix Aviation Corp.), and recorded on a chart. When the first real satellite takes to space, ten Minitrack receiving stations will be ready in the U.S., Cuba, Antigua, Ecuador, Peru, Chile and Australia. Their information about the satellite's motion will be flashed electronically to Washington, where past orbits will be charted and future orbits predicted by computer...
Peptic Ulcers. Smokers' death rate was 116% higher for duodenal ulcers. When they got to the comparison for stomach-ulcer deaths, Hammond and Horn's graph bar ran off the chart; there was not a single such death among the nonsmokers, but there were 46 among cigarette smokers (five among other smokers...

On a stationary navigational chart of the area, the pilot watched a moving pen track his course. For commercial pilots in crowded urban areas, the system promised to permit helicopter service no matter what the weather...

Harvard scored 21 distinguished departments ratings to tie with Yale for third place, behind the University of California at Berkeley, and the University of Chicago...
