...lamps are set pointing upward at angles that mark out the glide path. When the pilot makes the proper approach, he sees on each side of the runway two bars of lights. The near group is white, the far group red (see diagram). As long as they stay that way, he is doing all right. But if the white lights turn pink or red, he is approaching too low. If the red lights turn pink or white, he is too high. He has plenty of time to get in the slot. Even with brilliant sunlight competing with the lights, they...
...last week's annual Clinical Congress of the American College of Surgeons in San Francisco, the nation's leading medical researchers agreed that the chief obstacle to effective surgery on cranial arteries is one of man's quaint anatomical features-the Circle of Willis (see diagram...
...area where this vertical shearing is sufficiently intense. Then he scans the data a second time to see if any air masses on the same level are moving rapidly past each other. If this is the case, he marks another area on his map (see diagram). If the areas overlap, the overlap has the two necessary kinds of violent shear. It is therefore apt to be full of wing-wracking CAT. The troubled air is usually only a few thousand feet thick, and it slopes upward, its high end toward a slow-moving air mass that is being jostled...
...With the help of light beams, video and mirrors, the optical scanner moves rapidly across letters, numbers and handwriting, breaks them down into "machine language," or electrical impulses, and passes them along for an analysis to an electronic computer (see diagram). The scanner can do the work of from 25 to 100 people better and faster than they could, rarely makes errors, and does not need time out for coffee breaks...
...past decade, medical costs for the aged have about doubled. Today the average couple over 65 spends $140 a year for medical care, or $700 if hospitalization is needed. But 57% of the aged have means of less than $1.000 a year, counting social security benefits (see diagram), and most of them have banked less than $200 to meet a medical emergency. Says Dr. Sam Gertman, director of the University of Miami's geriatrics division: "An aged person usually can pay for his first illness out of his savings. On the second illness, he mortgages his home. After...
