...Rochester's Indian-born Dr. Narinder Singh Kapany, 30, has succeeded by applying a technique he refers to as "fiber optics."

WHEN Contributing Editor Spencer L. Davidson went down to Herman Talmadge's 2,400-acre plantation below Atlanta for a closeup of this week's cover subject, he discovered that his visit was a bit untimely.

Old Red Cloud is attacking the fort...
