...Garwin had a new idea. Working at top speed with Graduate Research Assistant Marcel Weinrich, they set up an extremely simple experiment. In the path of the mu mesons streaming from the cyclotron, they placed a block of carbon about 6-in. square and 1-in. thick with a coil of wire wound around its perimeter...
...will be hopelessly scrambled when it emerges. The only way to unscramble it is to feed it back the way it came through an identical bundle. Since it is possible to produce two identical random bundles by winding the fibers on a drum and cutting the coil in half, the receiver could be equipped with a "decoding" bundle. Linked into a television circuit, says Dr. Kapany, the bundles would provide a code unbreakable by any known cryptographic method...

On opposite sides of the barricade, rifle-slung Arab Legionnaires of Jordan and rifle-slung border guards of Israel enforce the division day and night in the name of their jealous sovereignties. One day last week, all Beit Safafa was excited by the wedding of two of its children-Fatma Bint, 20, and Moussa Ayasha, 23, a gardener at the Belgian consulate in Jerusalem...
...content with elaborate heart-lung machines to permit operations inside a patient's heart, or marrow-chilling techniques to drop his temperature, Dr. Frank Gollan of Nashville VA Hospital combined the two. He has devised a cheap ($250) pump-oxygenator with a refrigerated coil like those used in bars to cool beer. Not yet ready for use on human beings, the machine has dropped a dog's temperature to 55° F., and the animal has made a good recovery after operation...
