Nickels & Peanuts. On the coast of Baranof Island, Sitka, last capital of Russian America* was bustling with the clack and crunch of a new $55.5 million pulp mill abuilding. Up to the north, Nome's Sah Yung Ah Tim Mini Chapter (Eskimo talk for "strength gone from the body") of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis was busy pressing its immunization drive, and Bush Pilot Neal Foster, 41, reported that Nome (pop. 2,000) was having a pleasant day at 45° and that "a bunch of people are getting their boats in the water here now, mostly...
Campaign's Head. If the heart of the crusade is Madison Square Garden, its head is a seven-room suite in Times Square where 35 permanent staff members, 30 temporary employees and more than 200 volunteer clerical workers control a hectically complex organism.

The Washington press corps studies it for tips, ideas and slants that often influence the 500,000 words that clack out of the capital every day to news media all around the world...
Bizmac's operator needs only to press the proper buttons, and Bizmac's 25 electric tapewriters will clack out pages ready for offset photography. Able as it is, Bizmac is only the prototype of even better computers that will be capable of running entire factories. Tomorrow's great brain will start up machinery, feed in raw materials, switch from one product to the next as orders come in, convey parts to assembly lines, put them together, inspect, box, band and load finished products into freight cars and trucks...
