...Color TV. The world's first closed-circuit color-stereo TV system was announced by General Electric. After providing sets for scientists to use in watching radioactive processes, G.E. hopes to develop other markets, such as projecting sales conferences, conducting switching operations in railroad yards and control systems in automated factories...
Three Heads to Order. To make a two-headed monster, Dr. Wolff lets the embryo develop normally for two or three days. Then he makes a microscopic slice in the part that will grow into the chick's head. Three-headed monsters can be made in this way. So can four-legged or four-winged chicks...
Most of the unnatural chicks live to the hatching point, and some of the simpler ones may live longer. But Dr. Wolff is not interested in raising circus attractions. The purpose of experimental teratology, he says, is to learn why and how monsters develop so that the processes can be reversed. Explains Dr.Wolff: "A train passes too quickly for us to find out anything about it while it is moving. To derail the train is a violent method, but this gives us a chance to study parts of the mechanism." He hopes that his tortured eggs will teach physicians...
...free world's nickel and 95% of the nickel used by the U.S. During World War II the scarcity of nickel was so acute that the U.S. began stockpiling-almost entirely from Inco. But the U.S. did not take to dependence on Inco, began to develop other sources. Last week the General Services Administration told Inco that it is "not interested" in the company's offer to supply the U.S. stockpile with up to 150 million Ibs. of nickel over a 2½-year period from the 75 million Ibs. that will be produced annually (beginning...
...Competition. The U.S. decision was another in a series of developments that over the past few years has whittled away Inco's monopoly to 65% of the free-world market, threatens the industry's dominant producer with even more competition in the future. The burgeoning demand for nickel encouraged new companies to enter the field. Inco was turned down flat this spring by the Quebec government when it asked permission to develop a rich new nickel find in Quebec's Ungava district, but about three dozen other companies have won concessions in the area, including wealthy...
